Last week Mike Johnson‚ the GOP House Speaker made a surprise statement about changing Obama-care rules after possible Trump win in next years election. The changes would affect millions of Americans who rely on government health-care programs
Howard Lutnick‚ who leads Trumps transition team showed support for Robert F Kennedy Jrʼs views on vaccine data: his statement suggests that Kennedy might get a role in overseeing vaccine information (which raised questions among health experts)
A few days after Kennedy shared more info about future plans — he stated Trump would start removing fluoride from water systems right after taking office; this chemical has been used in US water supply since mid-20th century to help prevent tooth decay. The announcement came as part of broader health-related policy changes that might happen if Trump returns to office: these ideas show a different approach to public health than current administration
- Changes to affordable care act
- New vaccine data oversight
- Removal of water fluoridation
The timing of these statements — all made within one week period — shows how Trumps team is putting together their health-care agenda before election season starts
