Honestly, this whole exchange just proves how broken the system is. Instead of actually discussing how government meddling has wrecked our health care, they’re just hurling insults at each other. RFK Jr. is right to call out the decline in Americans’ health—decades of top-down policies and bureaucratic control haven’t helped anyone but the insurance companies and pharma lobbyists. We need less government involvement, not more, if we actually want to see better outcomes. Too bad Congress seems more interested in grandstanding than in trusting people to make their own choices.
