14. For this former military medic, "Make America Great Again" must include Great Health Care for ALL.

We are not even close. It appears that they are disassembling today's inadequate system to make it even worse.

I believe I'm correctly seeing a coordinated pattern to undermine public health, let suffering increase, blame "government failure," and use the chaos to justify transferring more money to private hands.

Understand that I am not suggesting that primary care providers are part of any organized plan. It's the system they have to work within that allows patients to fall through the intentional cracks.

Little things add up to poor outcomes: waiting weeks, if not months, to get an appointment, fighting for insurance approval to get the care your doctor ordered.

Political and religious interference with the vaccination routines that enable the return of communicable disease.
Leading to unnecessary deaths in young children.
The CDC has confirmed 884 measles cases in the US in 2025.
97% of cases are unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status.
The number of measles cases in the US is the second-highest annual count in 25 years.


The denial of proven science to satisfy a political outcome.

And now denying women timely access to OBGYN care, free from political interference, endangers the life of a mother with an ectopic pregnancy or a miscarriage within the uterus.

Please show me the evidence that counters my stated beliefs.
