3. Most states will ignore them

But unfortunately a lot of damage is already done. My state's Dept of Health has been gutted because so many federal funds and programs have been cut or dramatically reduced. It has gone under the radar in a lot of states I would imagine because a lot of the work they do or now don't do, may take a year or more before we start to see the effects. Once we do it could be catastrophic and likely irreversible in the short term.

They have created a perfect storm in which they are chipping away at the foundations of basic healthcare services. Public health funding, vaccines, wellness services and access to healthcare for the poor and rural communities.

In my community it is now impossible to find a doctor taking new patients. My spouse tried to make an appointment with two different podiatrists and the first available appointment was March or April.

These people are trying to destroy the US healthcare system. We stuck in a cult of loons against our will. We are all in danger. Real, significant danger of a complete collapse of our healthcare system.
