RFK, Jr. this morning:

Good morning. I got the latest numbers from CDC that 76.4% of Americans now have a chronic disease. This is stunning. My uncle was president was 11% 1950 was 3%. Today it’s 76.4%. Eight out of 10 of our kids cannot qualify for military service. This is a national security issue. When my uncle was President, we spent zero on chronic disease. Today we spent $1.3 trillion it’s the biggest cost. It’s increasing, and all of the arguments that Republicans and Democrats have about single payer Obamacare or the various ways of allocate the health dollars–they’re all like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. If we don’t end this chronic disease, we are the sickest country in the world. That’s why we have to fire people at CDC. They did not do their job. This was their job to keep us healthy. Thank you. I need to fire some of those people to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
