His continuous efforts to reconstruct health policy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., reported that they plan to check two more government agencies: US Prevention Service Task Force and National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. If you drive out the existing members of the Task Force, Kennedy will reduce the control of the US patients the type of prevention treatment that is guaranteed free of charge. And it is unclear what the secretary will do on the vaccine injury program, but Kennedy did not reveal the secret of belief that the vaccine could harm more than the line.
Meanwhile, last week’s 35th anniversary of the US Disabled Law, President Donald Trump signed an administrative order to forcibly hospitalize some people who are homeless and mental health problems.
This week’s panelist is the Julie Rovner of KFF Health News, Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Shefali luthra on the 19th.
Take out this week’s episode:
- Less than two months after Kennedy eliminated all members of the advisory committee on vaccination practices, he reported that he is considering a similar purge of a task force that recommends preventive service insurers. He is also considering changes in federal programs that compensate for those who experience side effects of vaccination.
- Vinay Prasad, the highest vaccine official of the Food and Drug Administration this week, resigned in a few months. PRASAD was particularly attacked by the right wing character, Laura Loomer, and exploded for some institutional decisions on new drugs for rare diseases, despite limiting the use of covid shots.
- Newly announced trade transactions with the European Union include 15%of tariffs for brand constraints, for example, diabetic drugs are often used for weight loss. However, it will be difficult to lower the price of branded medicines through tariffs. It is unlikely that the pharmaceutical company, which is higher in import costs, will transfer production to the United States.
- In addition, Trump’s large taxes and spending, which are in a hurry through a few weeks ago, are not eligible to receive cheap medical subsidies from legitimate immigrants. But the new KFF Health News Column points out that this change will actually increase premiums to everyone and take healthier people from the insurance pool.
This week, Lobener interviewed Sara Rosenbaum, one of the best Medicade experts in the United States, George Washington University’s health policy professor, to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Medicaid.
