"Senator, you've presided here, I think for 32 years. You have presided over the destruction of the health of the American people. Our people are now the sickest people in the world, because you have not done your job," Kennedy fired back. Data and history back up his argument.

Kennedy should be charged with lying to Congress. His statement that "our people are now the sickest people in the world" is demonstrably false. Kennedy is claiming the Chad, where the average lifespan is 25 less than the US, is healthier than the US.

"Data and history back up his argument."

You left out the salient adjectives: "cherry-picked" and "bastardized"

Tell us, do YOU believe Americans are the sickest people in the world?

Pretend it's the only question on the final exam for your degree.

Kennedy is the truly evil Wizard of Oz-looking Trump Cultist who most profits from the Cult's suffering.

The thread OP is his ball boy.

You sound like you need another booster.

I believe people in the US are becoming sicker by the year, and it starts with the agencies who regulate what is contained in what they call "food" or "drugs". And the study below is an eye opener for how many people are losing trust in them.

"Most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic destroyed public trust in health authorities and agencies.

In April 2020, trust sat at a reasonable 71.5%. Four years later in April 2024 it plummeted to 40.1%, according to a 50-state survey of U.S. adults led by Northeastern University's distinguished professor of political science and computer sciences"

"Americans are sicker than ever, despite Democrat initiatives"

Question about the headline:
Why wouldn't Republicans want to make improving health a bipartisan effort?
???

"I believe people in the US are becoming sicker by the year"

That doesn't answer my direct question.

In fact, it sounds like you don't believe the statement at all, and you're just tap dancing to avoid looking like a total moron.

What's your point, that lies work???

And how the hell did you miss almost ALL of the folks who died from COVID after the vaccinations came out were unvaccinated?!?

Too much horse paste clog your brain?

Republicans, for your entire life, have been arguing against costly, ineffective regulations on industry.
Now, under Trump, Republicans say the problem is the lack of costly, ineffective regulations on industry.

Republicans put a nose through your ring at birth and you don't even notice them leading you around by it.
