RFK Jr. used to warn about a government takeover of our data. He said wearables and their tech were part of a plot to surveil us, enabled tyranny, caused cancer, and turned users into “permanent consumers” to Big Tech.

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.

His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

People also don't realize how many health services rely heavily on Medicaid funding and may disappear. For all of RFK's yapping about the plight of autistic kids, this bill is going to vaporize so many therapies, early intervention, occupational, physical, play, speech & language, all out of reach.
