The worst individual to ever a country's healthcare system, Robert F Kennedy Jr, is going to let needy people go untreated which result in further sickness, suicides, or homicides. All US Senators who confirmed this anti-vax mountebank as Secretary for Health and Human Services (HHS) should be beaten in place.
"We are definitely looking at severe loss of front-line capacity," said Andrew Kessler, head of Slingshot Solutions, a consultancy firm that works with mental health and addiction groups nationwide. "[Programs] may have to shut their doors tomorrow."
Kessler said he has reviewed numerous grant termination letters from "Salt Lake City to El Paso to Detroit, all over the country."
Ryan Hampton, the founder of Mobilize Recovery, a national advocacy nonprofit for people in and seeking recovery, told NPR his group lost roughly $500,000 "overnight."
"Waking up to nearly $2 billion in grant cancellations means front-line providers are forced to cease overdose prevention, naloxone distribution, and peer recovery services immediately, leaving our communities defenseless against a raging crisis," Hampton said. "This cruelty will be measured in lives lost, as recovery centers shutter and the safety net we built is slashed overnight. We are witnessing the dismantling of our recovery infrastructure in real-time, and the Trumpf junta will have blood on its hands for every preventable death that follows."
Meanwhile firearms continue to proliferate throughout the US which averages six to eight mass shootings a week. RFK's draconian cut is a continuation of Republican Party cruelty to the vulnerable, weak, poor, and dispossessed. Dummkopf Trumpf does not care one whit for the American people. Not one iota.
