This is why HHS is trying to distract with things like “healthier foods in hospitals!” They don’t have an answer for the wave of hospital closures this Administration has caused.
NBC News@NBCNews

More than 400 hospitals across the U.S. are at high risk of closing or cutting services because of the Medicaid cuts in President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” according to an analysis from the progressive watchdog group Public Citizen. nbcnews.com/health/health-…

@SarahKarlin yep. and the “risk federal reimbursement” is always a slippery slope but especially so with this administration

@chiglinsky I feel like it makes sense at first and then assume they will take it too far. I can think of reasonable reasons why some sugary drink option might need to be available given patient circumstances for example.

Bold action combined with throwing 10 million off Medicaid, doubling ACA premiums, and now proposing to fund an unpopular war with additional health care cuts Great job! Making America Healthy Again
Calley Means@calleymeans

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.

Trump alienated a lot of centrist voters by bringing on Kennedy and MAHA, and now he’s losing MAHA (for many reasons like Iran and pesticides)
Raheem J. Kassam@RaheemKassam

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 your health reform framework doesn’t start with the recognition that many people have health conditions that are expensive to treat, it’s easy to wander into solutions that would lower young/healthy people’s costs by shifting the cost burden onto those with greater needs.
Larry Levitt@larry_levitt

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?

Interesting that he specifically references 2005. That is the year he published his first article attacking vaccines and spreading false information about vaccine safety. The article was published in Salon and Rolling Stone and subsequently retracted by Salon.

.@SecKennedy: “I’d been watching this deterioration in the health of our children, the rise in chronic disease since 2005…I prayed every day for 19 years that God would put me in a position to change this…and then August 2024, God sent me Donald Trump.”
