Please don't give them any ideas. With our luck won't even be bob villa but tim the toolman taylor.

At this point, I would take Wilson the Neighbor. Come to think of it, Wilson the Neighbor is about as good as we're going to get.

Oprah is part of our problem, remember “The Secret” phase.  The most influential and successful woman in America told her audience “hey you should just disconnect from material reality and instead believe absolute horseshit, you’ll be happier and better off.”  And we all kind of went along with it because Oprah seems pretty nice. 

We are right there together waiting in our straight jackets  for our hourly dose of thorazine.

There are many posters here that would benefit from some light antipsychotics sprinkled into their breakfast.

Medicare Advantage even covers the long acting versions. As long as you can clear the PA.

Herschel is gonna get a cabinet position…

I mean, at this point, aren’t we pretty much praying for that? It really would be the best possible outcome. You can’t have a complete train wreck of an admin if you don’t fill it with utterly deranged conductors.

Oz ain’t gonna burn Medicare down. He was an ACA supporter and a Medicare advantage advocate. If anything he is probably inclined to expand Medicare access by removing or reducing the age in. 

Ummm….no. See below.

 
 
oz is there to push the project 2025 agenda. he’ll have zero input and play along or he’ll be replaced asap 

Oz will cause pain and chaos, or he will be booted.

The biggest expansions of Medicare over the last 25 years have occurred under republican administrations. Oz is more likely to continue that trend than swim against that stream.

Oz, as least to the extent that you can rely on anything he has said previously, isn't going to burn Medicare down to the ground. 

I think the worry is that he doesn’t know what he’s doing and it’s not actually going to be his decision to act on it.

Just going on what I read here. Zoom out and that describes most individuals in the government.

Wait…you think this is a Republican administration? FFS, it’s a chaos-agent reality TV administration riddled with malignant fascists and oligarchs. It’s at most Republican-adjacent, at least if we define “Republican” as the party you’re referring to from the past.

I'll wager any amount you wish on Medicare expansion vs. contraction over the next 4 years.

The FDA has under the current administration literally been promoting unproven claims regarding drugs they are supposedly regulating and y'all think that Trump appointments are a threat to the system. Maoist, lol.

Seems kinda fallacious to say that there's no reason to worry bc the fda has already done bad things.

The FDA and CDC and CMS will be fine. They are slow moving ships. We've all been through this before. Fucking Gottlieb was one of the best FDA heads in recent memory. Revolving door to PFE notwithstanding.
