Republican Sen. Roger Marshall said "70 percent of your health outcomes are determined by you" as his party prepares to gut health care protections.

Summary

Senator Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) claimed that “70 percent” of health outcomes depend on individual choices, blaming Americans for poor health while Republicans plan to cut healthcare protections.

Marshall, a former OBGYN and leader of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Caucus, emphasizes nutrition and preventative care but ignores systemic issues like poverty and racism.

Proposals from the Trump administration and GOP Congress may weaken Affordable Care Act (ACA) protections, reduce access to care, and increase uninsured rates.

Marshall has also supported physician-owned hospitals, benefiting financially from the industry.

    The Millionaire Senator Roger Marshall, that pleaded no contest to reckless driving when he attempted to run over his neighbor? The same Roger Marshall that tried to stop the impeachment of Trump for extorting a foreign country’s leader to interfere in the US election or he would withhold aid approved by Congress? The same shit heel who was caught violating insider trading reporting, opposes abortion in cases of rape and incest, contested the 2020 election without evidence, and promoted conspiracy theories during the peak of the COVID pandemic?

    The world would be a safer place without Roger Marshall, and he’s welcome to surrender his Medicare for life granted to all congresspersons because any health issues he or his dependents have are clearly self-inflicted as he says about others.
