Miles and Dr. Rob are live from Chicago ahead of the Committee to Protect Healthcare’s first National Organizing Summit for Universal Care with LOTS to talk about:
Preventable diseases are making a comeback as vaccine rates fall, with Rob reporting firsthand sightings of chickenpox and whooping cough in the ER for the first time in years. Then, Trump’s latest physical raises more questions than it answers.
Why has Trump taken the Montreal Cognitive Assessment multiple times when it’s not a routine screening test? Why is he on two cholesterol medications and repeat coronary CT scans? Why does his physical mention improved ankle swelling that was never mentioned in last year’s report? The guys aren’t buying the spin, and they’re not alone: cardiologists and pulmonologists are publicly raising the same red flags. Miles sums it up bluntly: this is starting to feel less like political theater and more like an administration simply running out of convincing lies.
Also on the docket: Americans infected with Ebola are being turned away from their own country, with the administration’s Plan A (send them to Kenya) blocked by a Kenyan court. Dr. Oz takes the White House podium to claim 35% of ACA enrollees may be committing fraud and that the biggest Medicaid cuts in history somehow saved Medicaid. And RFK Jr. hits the campaign trail in Wisconsin dairy country, making the case that whole milk is coming back to school cafeterias — and apparently that’s the hill this administration is choosing to die on.
