RFK Jr  

4% of our GDP went to health care when my uncle was president. 

Today, 20% does. It's $4.3 trillion.  Our entire defense budget, including national security veterans, everything is 1.3 trillion. 

Health care is $4.3T and 93% of Medicare claims are for chronic disease. 6% of kids had chronic disease when my uncle is present, 60% today. 

Nobody's saying anything. 

These are all autoimmune diseases, which I never heard of, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile diabetes, these exotic Crohn's disease, lupus. 

I have a lot of young people in my audience. Almost all of them have something. It's hard to find a young person who does not have neuro developmental disorders add ADHD, speech related language like tics, Rett syndrome, ASD, autism, our kids are all on Adderall. They're all on SSRIs.

Why?  Doctors didn't just start prescribing these for no reason. We have damaged this entire generation. We have poisoned them. 

And the autism rates have gone from one in 10,000 in my generation 70 year old men, one in 10,000 of people my age has autism. One in every 34 kids in my kids generation, one in every 22 boys. The military can't recruit kids anymore. They're so badly damaged. And it's bankrupting our country, and it's rising exponentially.

And nobody is mentioning it> We we have a medical cartel which are our regulatory agencies, the pharmaceutical companies, the doctors, hospitals, that which are all owned by hedge funds, are now making a killing on chronic disease. And the sicker we get, the richer they get. 

The insurance industry, the sicker we are, the richer they are and nobody is saying anything. 

No, not one presidential candidate ever mentions this. It's the biggest issue.
