With RFK Jr. in Charge, Insurers Aren’t Saying If They’ll Cover Vaccines for Kids If Government Stops Recommending Them
RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory board could stop recommending some routine childhood immunizations, leaving insurers to decide whether to still cover them. For now, most are remaining tight-lipped.

For reference, Kennedy ordered an audit of all the conflicts of interest for ACIP members- it didn't show anything of substance, so this is him simply lying to people's faces (not new ground for him). He explicitly says this is so that the Trump admin can appoint its own 17 ACIP members before 2028.

RFK Jr. says federal vaccine advisers are beholden to industry. The evidence does not support him

CBO finds that DOGE failed to achieve measurable savings in March. At first glance, spending fell $38B (7%) compared to last year. But March began on a Saturday so payments that normally go out in March went out in Feb After adjusting, spending *rose* $45B (8%) compared to March 24.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.
