Great, so my autistic child's regional center which gets funded by Medicare cut, ADHD meds cut, and department of education gone and along with that special education funding. Why does RFK seem intent on abandoning treatments and supports it's taken years to get in place? Because he's an asshole.
It's already hard enough to get these meds with all the shortages...every month it's a game of will I or won't I get the meds I need to be a somewhat functioning adult.
Getting diagnosed with ADHD and being prescribed meds in my late 20s (46 now) absolutely changed my life and my self-worth. One man’s delusions can NOT be allowed to supersede science and medicine. Horrifying.
Oh, no worries -- HE'll always have access to whatever first-class medical treatment he desires. Everyone else is on their own, cuz in his view, they don't count.
We are about to see a behavioral health crisis. If they think homelessness is bad now, it's going to explode. Mental health programs function on a lot of government funding. Clients get their meds & housing through Medicaid and SSI/SSDI. It's always the vulnerable they abuse.

But don’t worry, Trump said yesterday that RFK and Oz would “solve autism.” 🙄
