Big changes coming to America’s broken healthcare system.
Trump’s MAHA commission dropped 3 bold strategies the media ignored.
He even stunned pharma execs with a major threat.
Since no one’s talking about it, here’s what’s really happening:
A thread🧵
The statistics are terrifying:
Over 40% of American kids now have at least one chronic health issue.
But here's the number that stopped Trump cold during the White House briefing...
Autism rates: 1 in 10,000 children just decades ago.
Today? 1 in 31 children.
Trump's exact words: "There's something wrong. Has to be artificially induced. Has to be."
This is where the real story begins...
The MAHA Commission delivered their report in exactly 98 days.
4 root causes identified:
• Ultra-processed foods
• Environmental toxins
• Chronic stress & inactivity
• Overmedicalization of children
To solve that, Trump has three distinct strategies...
Strategy #1: Attack the Food System
Trump approved SNAP waivers to remove junk food from food stamps.
Nebraska: Signed
Indiana: Signed
Iowa: Signed
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: "This has never happened before under Republican or Democrat administrations."
But wait, there's more...
The FDA is now phasing out 8 common artificial food dyes.
And they're targeting something called "GRAS oversight" - the system that lets food companies self-regulate their own additives.
The food industry is quietly panicking...
Strategy #2: The Pharmaceutical Shock
On May 12th, Trump signed the "most favored nation" executive order.
His demand? Drug companies have 30 days to match the lowest prices paid anywhere in the world.
Or face mandatory price cuts of 50-89%.
Trump's exact threat to pharma CEOs:
"We pay the lowest country anywhere in the world, and that's what we're going to be paying."
"If they don't do it, we're going to not do business with that country or those countries."
The industry called it their "nightmare scenario."
Here's what most people missed...
Trump isn't just threatening the companies.
He's threatening entire COUNTRIES that give their citizens cheap drugs while Americans pay 10x more.
His leverage? Trade wars, tariffs, export restrictions.
This changes everything...
Current system:
Europe pays $20 for a drug
America pays $240 for the same drug
Big Pharma keeps total profits
Trump's system:
Everyone pays $130
Americans save $110
Europeans pay $110 more
Big Pharma profits stay the same
He's not destroying the industry - he's redistributing the burden globally.
Strategy #3: Institutional Capture
Trump ended "the most serious conflicts of interest at the FDA."
RFK Jr. is leading a government-wide assault on corporate influence in health agencies.
The plan? Make every health decision based on independent science, not industry funding.
