Medical journal The Lancet blasts RFK Jr.’s health work as a failure
“The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in one year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm,” the journal’s editorial board wrote in its latest issue.
The amount of people who RFK has already murdered is intense but looking back RFK will be seen as one of the key figures of the final, utter collapse of the social safety net in the US. He is going to be responsible for tens of thousands of deaths if not hundreds of thousands. This is not hyperbole.
Hey but whatever, glad centrists shut down any prospect of progressive change in healthcare, I am sure we will just be able to move back to a moderate position after all this blows over and everything will work out!
The US has progressive healthcare in several states. California for one has had a system comparable to the Netherlands since Obama. Furthermore, saying that this could have been stopped by a federal system is wrong simply because RFK has the power to kill federal programs.
The problem here is a federal vs states rights issue. I personally would rather not have a federal system because the next administration after would gut it. State managed is much better for system resilience. West coast states have already responded to CDC shutdown for example.

Also centrists aren’t blocking the UHC or single payer.
