A good move from Trump. We could do with this over here.

RFK is the Health Secretary now, so I imagine some of the turnaround in the way in which the US deals with public health is down to him.1) Biden has been working on addressing it
2) Kamala Harris policies would have extended health care affordability
3) Trump is making the healthcare crisis worse
Biden reduces prices on drugs
US strikes deal to cut cost of 10 drugs for Medicare users

Biden extends affordable care:
The 2025 enrollment figure is buoyed by 3.2 million new consumers compared to last year, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services said, with 20.4 million consumers insured in 2024 selecting a plan for the new year or automatically re-enrolled.
Record 24 million enroll in Affordable Care Act health insurance as Biden's term ends, White House says
"That means that enrollment has nearly doubled since I took office," President Joe Biden said in a statement.abcnews.go.com
Trump reverses Obamacare (Affordable care act)

The moves are likely to be inconsequential to many people in terms of what they pay in out-of-pocket health care costs.www.nbcnews.com
Some of the actions Monday were expected, experts say, including weakening the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, a primary goal during Trump's first term.
Trump overturned a policy that had extended Obamacare’s open enrollment period an additional 12 weeks in 36 states, giving uninsured adults more time to sign up.
He also rescinded an order aimed at strengthening Medicaid, which included providing more outreach funding to states.
If Kamala Harris had won she would have:
Tackling drug prices
Harris has proposed expanding on Democrats’ 2022 drug pricing reform package.
Her drug pricing policies encompass these main goals: expanding Medicare negotiations, capping insulin costs and pharmacy drug costs for people outside of the Medicare program, and penalizing companies further for hiking prices faster than inflation.
Expanding Medicare benefits
One of the Harris campaign’s last-minute proposals was to expand Medicare to cover some home care, vision, and hearing benefits.
During the debate over the Inflation Reduction Act that created the Medicare drug price negotiation, Democrats weighed adding billions of dollars for home care, but the policy was left on the cutting room floor. Harris’ home care plan would provide coverage on a sliding scale for seniors based on income, and support the home care workforce.
Strengthening the Affordable Care Act
For people with insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act, Harris wants to extend premium subsidies that Democrats implemented in 2021 after Biden was elected. Those subsidies make premiums cheaper for a broader range of people, and even make some policies free for low-income enrollees.
Canceling medical debt
Harris has proposed working with states to help cancel medical debt, building on similar work during her time as vice president.
Ending surprise bills for ground ambulances
While Congress banned surprise medical bills during emergency situations in 2020, a big loophole was that ground ambulances were exempt. Harris proposes changing that.
Codifying reproductive health rights
Following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the resulting patchwork of state policies on abortion access, Harris has pledged to sign a law codifying abortion access if Congress sends it to her. Strengthening reproductive rights has been a major focus of her campaign.
How a Kamala Harris presidency would change health care, from drug pricing to abortion
Kamala Harris will work to achieve health care ideas that Democrats couldn’t push across the finish line during Biden’s tenure.www.statnews.com
Edit: I may be wrong on this as I am uncertain if he has been confirmed as yet. He was billed to be as such.

So how did they establish it then ?
After all the checks etc, you’re saying they didn’t speak to Keir ? Or they did speak to him, but didn’t ask the question?

Awww you don’t know do you.
He was asked, he said “No” that’s how.
Unless you want to show me that’s not true ? Or just keep stating it’s “lies” without any proof.

Did you read the report?

Deleted member 317777
I have, what’s your point ?
Keir was having a pint, one of his staff mentions jimmy saville, he waves them off as to say “let it go”
When asked- Mr starmer did know, guess what he said ?
There’s million ways he could have found out. And the only proof is his word.
Don’t be a poor loser, you should be used to it now.

It all comes down to his word, as I’ve always stated.
You can’t prove otherwise or you would have lol.
He’s a slippery man, he’s a lawyer and politician after all. One could say he’s trained to lie…..
Please highlight the part that states if they did, or didn’t interview Keir ?

It doesn't come down to his word at all. Don't be silly. It was a thorough investigation.
You've read it. Search for "Starmer" and see how often it comes up.

All that aside, one of his many, many employees told him.
When asked he denied knowing, it’s not that hard to understand.
I’m not lying, trolling etc. it’s my honest opinion, I think he knew.
Even a lie detector can be beat! Imagine how easy it is to beat an enquiry you instructed
