The ones left after the layoffs might have enough work to stay busy.

Don't try to fix the wrong thing. There is no right way to do the wrong thing, and gov't "healthcare" is WRONG.

NUKE UNCONSTITUTIONAL, CORRUPT, AND DANGEROUS GOV'T HEATHCARE!!!

Get our healthcare away from distant, indifferent, and non-medial D.C. bureaucrats and politicians, and back on an individual basis in the voluntary cooperation DIRECTLY between doctor and patient with no gov't middleman with his hand out and a hammer behind his back!!!

Try again...

would be nice if Sec Kennedy could cut the childhood vaccine schedule back to what it was decades plus ago. 🙄

[MtnClimber]

You can say that again!

[Cobra64]

Does anyone know what these people do?

[cgbg]

There is probably nobody on the planet that can answer your question!

[cgbg]

Thanks—that press release has some additional detail.

Mr. Kennedy, please look into why there are only three insulin producing companies and why they are a monopoly.

RFK Jr did a video X post and talked about it so I figured there’d be a press release

Federal employees CANNOT be fired. Just ask the DC courts.

[Jim W N]

Can’t say it enough, and I seem to be the only one saying it.

That is sad.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Cutting jobs-must be a republican.

Breaking: Federal judge issues restraining order calling RFKJ a “poopyhead”.

[wildcard_redneck]

It should be 30,000 fired.

Big Food makes you sick with poison and then Big Pharma sells you big $$$ to manage your metabolic condition. It’s diabolical.
