I interviewed many pregnant women who said they were thinking twice about whether or not they should take Tylenol.
I think the way the Trump administration sees it is that for too long, there has not been a willingness to challenge public health agencies and that Americans have just been told to take what they say as sacrosanct and that they're just asking questions.
They're just reviewing guidelines.
They're just looking at the role of the pharmaceutical industry and where there may be conflicts of interest
There's no question that people who identify as MAHA supporters, right, supporters of the Make America Healthy Again movement, they see themselves as critical to Republican success in the midterm elections.

They were not hardline Democrats or hardline Republicans.
A lot of them are often disaffected voters who feel like they don't have a home, who believed so strongly in what he was saying about not just public health, but about nutrition and the need to crack down on ultra-processed food.
And some of that is actually much more popular than his actions on vaccines.
So, you know, there's some areas in which they feel like he hasn't delivered on the agenda.

You need to demonstrate that you're going to deliver.
So if you're not running on policies that fit within the Maha agenda, they're not necessarily going to come out and vote just because there's a Republican on the ticket.
Thank you.
As many as 20 million Americans
could be in for a surprise with respect to the cost of their health care coverage in the next year.
Well, one of the key deadlines already passed on December 15th, which was for people to sign up for coverage starting on January 1st through the federal marketplace and most of the state exchanges.
Having said that, enrollment is still possible through the federal marketplace until January 15th.
And coverage, depending on how long you wait to sign up, may not kick in until the beginning of February.
