"Let me state the obvious: addictions are unhealthy. They reflect a lack of self-control and prevent us from making choices without external influence. They cloud a clear mind. However, what is worse is when the actions of a government entity obstruct our ability to overcome an addiction. One group in Washington, DC, is doing just that." #Vaping #Smoking #DickDurbin #Politics #Democrats #FDA #Woke https://issuesinsights.com/2024/12/20/nanny-state-nonsense-hinders-smoking-cessation/

In 2023, UnitedHealth Group's revenue grew to $371.6 billion, an increase of 14.6% from 2022. Full-year 2023 earnings from operations were $32.4 billion, an increase of 13.8%. Net earnings in 2023 increased to $22.3 billion, compared to $22.1 billion in 2022. The Left engineered the creation of bureaucratic monopolies in the healthcare industry obsessed with regulating products and an addiction to deficit spending, throwing money away to keep the Obamacare boondoggle alive. The Left has no moral standing to protest high prices and poor service and denied claims for a vast majority of people - because they caused the problem. https://tippinsights.com/americans-pay-the-price-for-the-lefts-broken-healthcare-system/

The Rise and Fall of Western Science. Pharmaceutical companies managed to convince American doctors that “chronic pain” is a problem that tens of millions of people suffer from. Through a combination of aggressive marketing and manipulated scientific studies, they created an addiction in millions of people to opioids (sold under the names OxyContin or Fentanyl), which they falsely claimed were “safe and effective,” and – above all – non-addictive. Tobacco companies – having lost the battle for lung cancer – used the accumulated capital to buy several food giants (for example, Kraft or General Foods). Their armies of scientists immediately went after the same goal as before, only in a different area: Over the following years, they developed hundreds of addictive substances that the companies started to add en masse to industrially processed food. Instead of a tobacco addiction, they plunged America into a “junk food” addiction. https://brownstone.org/articles/the-rise-and-fall-of-western-science/
