🚨 BREAKING: Health Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Oz just told every single hospital in America to use REAL FOOD aligned with new HHS guidelines, if they want to keep getting Medicare and Medicaid funds MAHA WIN! 🇺🇸 "Dr. Oz sent out a health and safety notice to every hospital in this country at 11 o'clock this morning, asking them now to align their food purchases with the dietary guidelines in order to enjoy continued eligibility for Medicaid and Medicare payments." "We're going to bring all the hospitals in the country in line with good food, and this is not something that we need to force hospitals to do. They want it." "We have talked with them. They need the incentive, and this is going to help them with their procurement companies, the fact that it's now essentially a federal mandate."

Today, CMS issued a memo to every hospital telling them to stop serving sugary drinks + inflammatory processed food to patients or risk federal reimbursement. Bold, common sense action that will save lives. We are anxiously awaiting how the media spins this negatively.

I try to explain to people that MAGA and MAHA are actually very distinct movements that came to an accommodation at the last election, but the coalition isn’t necessarily concrete. I should know, the patrons at my Capitol Hill restaurant (Butterworth’s, for those wondering) are predominantly from MAGA and MAHA worlds, but there is very thin overlap. Do some people consider themselves both? Sure. But most people staunchly identify as ONE or THE OTHER, not both at the same time. MAGA voters are broadly focused on: - Donald J. Trump - Controlled immigration - Economic growth/lower taxes - Social/cultural issues (inc abortion, transgender stuff) - Constitutional matters (Free speech, 2A, etc) MAHA voters are broadly more interested in: - Health and wellness issues, including food supply; - Children’s welfare/vaccines; - Cultural issues; - Energy/environmental cleanliness; - Agriculture Now, that’s not to say that MAGA and MAHA are of equal size. They’re obviously not. MAHA represents a much smaller number of Americans. But as MAHA Action President Tony Lyons wrote in a memo last month, “…the Republican party is renting MAHA voters. They haven’t decided to purchase them yet.” Which means the coalition could fracture at any time. I suspect many MAHA voters won’t turn out at the midterms this November, as most are quite “crunchy” and anti-war/conflict/intervention at the same time. There’s no reliable data on this yet, but as we draw closer to November, I expect a heavy focus on these 5-10% of MAHA voters who could tip the balance in key races across the country.

If healthy people take government subsidies to buy health care directly rather than purchase insurance, what happens to sick people? What happens to those healthy people if they get sick?
