RFK 's plan to make America healthy again? Round up people with mental health conditions in camps

63% Informative
Robert F. Kennedy's "make America healthy again" motto is meant to convey that he is sincerely interested in helping Americans avoid getting sick in the first place.
Marcotte : It's especially noteworthy that Kennedy kicked off his new role with a broad attack on drugs people use to prevent depression, diabetes, and other such conditions.
Instead of letting people have drugs that keep them healthy, Kennedy 's 'solution' looks very much like punishing them for perceived personal failures by putting people into labor camps.
RFK Jr. calls people with imperfect health the " Untermenschen ," framing them as ignorant, lazy, and parasitical.
Kennedy 's ugly attitudes are getting sane-washed by the press as merely an interest in "promoting" healthy eating.
But it's important to put his views in the context of an all-out assault by the Trump administration on the lives of people they view as "weak" members of society.
