It might be the prevailing context but it literally isn't what he said.
He's had plenty of opportunities to provide that context, has he?
You said it earlier, he is Spandos level nutty.
Dude. I've seen shit in the medical industry that would absolutely piss you off. Did you know that food allergies were ridiculed up until insurance started paying for the testing? Now they're okay all of a sudden.
Did you know that when they changed the protocol for Pap Smears back in 2009 from every year to every three years, the doctors were savaging the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology as "fucking idiots"? Why? Because they thought they would lose business.
Did you know Gastroenterologists trashed fecal genetic testing of stool samples to determine if people had precancerous lesions? The test was designed for those that would NOT get a colonoscopy. If you tested positive on the test, you had to go get a colonoscopy. It would have driven business to the doctor, but they trashed the test out of fear of losing patients.
RFK may sound nutty to you, but I've seen enough to know he's barking up the right tree and money collected drives doctors decisions.
I asked about genetic testing 15 years ago and how it relates to generally healthy people over paying for health insurance over the course of their life
Like when you’re hired for a corporate job instead of giving you a form about health insurance and retirement plans they send you for genetic testing that would predict your chances of developing disease and your life expectancy…
Once the results are in they present you with some otough options
Johnny, You have a 3% chance of developing cancer over the next 40 years. In fact, your genetics look pretty good and forecast you to live until you’re about 88 years old. The truth is you would only need to go to the doctors office about two or three times over the course of your life.. you might consider forgoing healthcare insurance and just pay for your doctor visits out-of-pocket because it is forecasted you will save about a 500k if you do it this way. We suggest this because you are a single man with no wife or children right now.
Another option for you would be to take the $900 a month you would pay for healthcare and invest it into an index fund instead. You have a 97% chance of having $1.5 million in your account when you’re 65 years old.
It’s your choice Johnny and it’s a tough choice, especially with the scare tactics and profit generating mechanisms the healthcare industry uses on people to maximize profits
The opposite scenario presents a lot of challenges as well when basically a corporation discovers after you are hired that you have a 50% chance of developing cancer over the next 10 years…..
