Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.
They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.
Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.

And re diversity, he’s talking about NIMHD, the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities.
Which is not DEI. It’s largely about figuring out why some genetically diverse human populations respond differently to medicine and treatment and docs. That is important!!!

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”
Republicans are waging a generalized war on science, but I think many of them don’t fully grok that RFK isn’t at war with science alone or per se: he’s at war with sick people, and of the view that only the lucky should be allowed to survive into old age. They are know nothings, he is Mengele.
RFK Jr. has now officially stated that he will dismantle the United States Preventive ServicesTask Force (USPSTF).
