It’s a start
1. Although I am less than enamored with many aspects of the Big Beautiful Bill (BBB), one item that peaked my attention in a positive way was the BBB’s approach to Medicaid. Medicaid was established in the 1960s during the Johnson Administration as a safety net for poor, vulnerable Americans. I agree with the BBB that illegal aliens should be kicked off the Medicaid program. The program was intended for American citizens, not foreign invaders. Medicaid is also not intended for able-bodied adults who can work yet choose to remain unemployed. Requiring 80 hours/month of work activity whether it be an actual paying job, job training or volunteer work benefitting one’s vulnerable community is NOT an unreasonable request. Encouraging able-bodied individuals to be professional lounge lizards and bed slugs is morally bankrupt and reprehensible.

2. I appreciate RFK dropping the hammer on the pharmaceutical industry and its enablers. JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) have been pharmaceutical industry props for over two decades. Personally, I would like to see all the direct to consumer pharmaceutical ads on T.V. disappear. “Biologic” medications – monoclonal antibodies for example – for autoimmune rheumatologic, dermatologic, and gastrointestinal diseases must be massive money makers because the money spent on advertising these medications on T.V. is enormous. I have rheumatoid arthritis, so I can vouch that these ads are engaging in manipulation and false hope. My favorite ad right now is for a biologic medication targeting autoimmune diseases that costs about $8,361 for a thirty day supply. The ad tells me that I “should be done settling” and to “take back what’s yours.” The ad has young, healthy appearing individuals riding around on jet skis. I haven’t been on a jet ski since I was a nimble New Jersey high hair babe strutting my stuff and that was a long time ago. I can attest that when I sit in my rheumatologist’s waiting room once every three months and look around, not one patient in the waiting area would be physically capable of operating a jet ski. I can reasonably conclude that the majority of individuals sitting in the waiting room are on an expensive biologic medication because the algorithms used by specialists are generated from research that appears in JAMA, NEJM, and other pharmaceutical industry sponsored publications. I wonder how many of the folks who will be sitting with me in the waiting room next month are going to hit their doc up for a new and supposedly improved treatment option. The cost of our current medical system is unsustainable. The pharmaceutical industry pushes expensive, not yet off patent drugs. Do these new drugs actually work better and with fewer side effects than the older standbys? Are serious side effects from biologics such as cancer, myocardial infarction or cerebral vascular accident being reported to anybody? I truly hope electronic medical records are being used for more than billing……..

Women Deserve Better
Recently, a study was released by Jamie Bryan Hall and Ryan T. Anderson of the Ethics and Public Policy Center concerning the safety of mifepristone which is a one of two medications used for medical abortions in the United States. Mifepristone is a compound that binds with high affinity to progesterone receptors in the human body thus blocking natural progesterone from binding to the receptors and leading to fetal demise because progesterone is needed for fetal development. The second drug administered 24-48 hours after taking mifepristone is misoprostol which causes cervical softening and uterine contractions resulting in expulsion of the products of conception. In 2000, during the Clinton Administration, the FDA approved mifepristone for medical abortions after small clinical trials (859 U.S. participants) under a strict Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) that required three IN-PERSON office visits, physician only prescribing, only in-clinic administration of medications, mandatory reporting of ALL serious adverse events, and physicians had to be able to quickly access surgical and emergency care. In 2016, during the Obama Administration, REMS was relaxed – in-person visits lowered from three to one, extension of gestational limit from 7 to 10 weeks, in-office administration of medication was removed, and adverse event reporting was no longer required except under specific circumstances. In 2023, during the Biden Administration, REMS was lowered even further – no in-person visits required and telehealth permitted, mail order pharmacies allowed to dispense abortion medication, non-physician healthcare providers permitted to prescribe, and the only adverse event required to be reported is death. The Hall/Anderson study was a review of insurance claims made within 45 days following 865,727 mifepristone abortions performed during 2017-2023. Examination of the insurance data showed an alarming number of serious adverse event claims – hemorrhage, emergency room visit related to the abortion, repeated surgical abortion, infection, abortion related hospitalization, ectopic pregnancy, transfusion, sepsis, and several other emergency events – of 10.93%. The FDA drug label for mifepristone reports the serious adverse event rate as < 0.5% based on the small scale clinical research done in a tightly controlled environment for the 2000 drug approval. We now have large scale, real world data indicating that mifepristone is not as safe as is being touted by the abortion industry. Additionally, a medication with a 10% risk of a serious adverse event is being sold with no in-person office visit or in-person post medical procedure follow up. An absolute recipe for disaster. The FDA should pull mifepristone from the market.

From the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
On May 1, 2025, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released a 409 page document titled “Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria – Review of Evidence and Best Practices.” On reviewing the document, I was pleased that the findings confirmed what the CASS Report from the United Kingdom pointed out last year leading to a retraction of some aggressive “gender affirming” treatments in parts of Europe. There is scant evidence backing what the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH) has been pushing as standard of care for gender dysphoria treatment in children (age < 18 years old). There is very little out there in the scientific literature universe as to the long term effects of suppressing puberty with puberty blockers or giving cross sex hormones for the development of secondary sexual characteristics not aligned with one’s biological sex in the pediatric population. Back in the day, medical school for me was 1986-1990 and residency training 1990-1994, there were three groups one treated where extreme caution was exercised – children, pregnant women, and the elderly (age > 65). It is shocking to me that over the span of 35 years, professional medical organizations have been co-opted by identity politics and the pharmaceutical industry. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Endocrine Society, and many other medical organizations are howling that the report advocates “conversion therapy.”

Gender Dysphoria is a mental illness and should NOT be treated with cross sex hormones and puberty blockers
Today’s topic is Transgender Moonbattery.
1. In the State of Ohio. The Ohio 10th District Court comprised of 8 judges who are all Democrats, with three judges presiding in unanimous agreement on this week’s H.B. 68 ruling, is elected entirely by registered voters in Franklin County – so no surprise here with the Marxist, ignorant, activism. H.B. 68 was passed after a DeWine veto last year. H.B. 68 – known as the SAFE ACT (Save Adolescents from Experimentation Act) was combined with H.B. 6 (SAVE WOMEN’S SPORTS ACT). In their ruling this week, the Ohio 10th District Court ruled part of H.B. 68 unconstitutional. H.B. 68 banned both medical and surgical transgender treatments in minors and banned biological males from competing in women’s sports. The ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) – I want to blow paper spit wads through a paper straw at my television set every time I see an advertisement on TV from these clowns and Real America’s Voice has been killing me with ACLU ads lately, but hey, the cost of free speech – filed the lawsuit and the ACLU only sought a ruling on medical treatment – not surgical treatment or the sport’s ban. The judges in this case bought lock, stock, and barrel all the yet to be proven bull feces spewed forth by the medical establishment. Of note, there are no good studies out there verifying that hormonal and puberty blocker treatments in individuals < 18 years of age are reversible. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and several other Red State Attorney Generals (see 9/27/2024 post on this site) signed and sent a letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) last September warning the AAP that they may be in violation of state consumer protection laws by stating that effects of puberty blockers in children are “reversible.” This case is now headed to the Ohio Supreme Court and we will now get to see why judicial elections are exceptionally important.
