Everyone who wants to cut funding for anyone's health care claims they're only cutting waste and fraud…but the statistics they're citing don't seem to support that insistence. Glenn Kessler looks at the numbers that House Speaker Mike Johnson is citing and finds them lacking in this thing called accuracy.
Speaking of health care: To the surprise of (I would think) no one, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr is justifying much of what he's doing with faulty reports. They cite studies which either never existed or which drastically misrepresent what the studiers reported. ABC News (and just about every other news source) has the details.
And — surprise, surprise! — He also has some really unsubstantiated views on vaccinations for COVID. Or so Politifact is reporting. Putting this man in charge of our nation's health was like entrusting the nuclear codes to Gomer Pyle. Which, for all we know, Trump has also done.
