A Sick Nation (Part 1 of 4)
A 4-Part Series on the Patterns and Impacts of a Country Sabotaging Our Wellness
Patterns Emerge
Every headline shows up like a puzzle piece. A new image forms in your mind. Patterns are revealed that display a system designed to collapse.
The news of Tatiana Schlossberg’s (daughter of Caroline Kennedy), terminal blood cancer diagnosis filled my social media feeds on Sunday, November 23rd. On any other timeline it would be the sad recognition of a family you’ve never met who has had far too many public tragedies.
But on this timeline, and with Tatiana’s essay published in The New Yorker, “A Battle with My Blood,” her family’s story of a devastating diagnosis becomes another warning signal of the direction we are heading.
Her vantage point is unique, as she and the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr., both come from the same American political family dynasty.
Many in the newer generations try to pay forward the good deeds and good fortunes inherited from their fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
When Tatiana was receiving treatment, RFK Jr.’s confirmation was happening simultaneously. A moment that can be interpreted as the beginning of the decimation of the US healthcare system.
The country and the system are shirking their responsibility to provide care for and treat people by allowing access to fewer existing or new treatments. Every other developed nation provided more care to their residents before this regime took over and now it’s getting worse.
Countless actions have been taken to ensure our population gets sicker and sicker.
In this capitalist society you might deduce that sick people + expensive treatments equal richer companies (pharmaceutical, supply, insurance, and others). Then this administration took action to shut down the pipeline of health providers by removing its professional status.
Less medication and fewer people to treat the sick.
Breaking an entire system to mistreat human beings is straight up evil. When people can’t get treated, they become a more sickly, dependent population.
Remember, not so long ago, the longest government shutdown in US history. They told us it was because of healthcare costs. One side wanted you to pay more, one didn’t.
Wherever this legislation lands, the goal is to be less insured. If you can’t pay for health insurance you are less likely to seek healthcare, especially in the preventable stage.
It creates an inability to manage your own health.
Tatiana’s is one small story in a sea of stories without the insulation of being a Kennedy and all it brings.
A coordinated strategy outlined in Project 2025 feels different when you see and feel it implemented. You’re witnessing the suffering you knew was imminent.
