But apparently fifteen years have not been enough for them to actually produce their promised alternative. And while their failure to offer any plan of their own drags on, Trump and Republicans simultaneously persist in their efforts to push millions of Americans off of the plans they have now.

We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP.

According to a top official in Trump&#8217;s Health and Human Services Department, their priorities are <em>&#8220;Getting America back to work&#8230;getting you to work longer&#8230;and build[ing] trillions of dollars of value to the GDP&#8221;<\/em> (Gross Domestic Product). And you thought that healthcare policy had something to do with having access to doctors for yourself and your family, coverage for medical treatment and supplies, preventing illness and death, and general quality of life? What were you thinking?<\/p>\n<p>It shouldn&#8217;t surprise anyone that Oz, who Trump recruited from Fox News, would articulate this warped version of healthcare. After all, he is a well known quack who has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mehmet_Oz\" target=\"_blank\">advocated phony remedies and dangerous practices<\/a><\/strong>. During the COVID pandemic, Oz <em>&#8220;promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug, as a cure for COVID-19 on more than 25 Fox News broadcasts in March and April 2020.&#8221;<\/em> And <em>&#8220;In April 2020, Oz appeared on Fox News with Sean Hannity and said that reopening schools in the United States might be worth the increased number of deaths it would cause.&#8221;<\/em> Would those increased deaths be worth it if it were your children?<\/p>\n<p>The revelation by Oz that Trump&#8217;s goal for healthcare is to boost the GDP is consistent with pretty much everything else we know about Trump, the most transactional <em>&#8220;president&#8221;<\/em> in American history. He has always been about the grift and enriching himself and his rich friends. I can&#8217;t wait to see the details of how filling the workforce with all of our newly healthy, and older, citizens will juice the bottom line of American businesses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=68018\" target=\"_blank\">HUH?
