MAGA, MAHA, and Our Growing Health Bureaucracy

By Dr. Robert Malone

...MAHA and MAGA

Now I’d like to talk and specifically focus on this new dialectic that exists between Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) as a movement and Make America Great Again (MAGA) as a movement.

They’re actually two separate things, and they have different constituencies and different drivers. In many ways, they resolve into proregulatory big government initiatives versus promotion of deregulation and small government. In theory, Make America Great Again is more aligned with libertarian principles. Make America Healthy Again, in my opinion, is much more aligned with big government and regulation.

Within that, we can discern some real tensions that are playing out in real time, and will continue to play out over the next four years. And I can’t predict what the outcome is going to be.

It’s worth noting that the MAHA movement exists outside of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the government, and encompasses many societal issues outside of the focus of the Trump administration. For example, homesteading, medical and personal sovereignty, and personal responsibility for healthcare choices. These may all be outside of the MAHA whole-of-government approach. Remember, this is a presidential directive now, the MAHA Commission. It has specific objectives, goals, requirements, and deliverables that are separate from MAHA as a movement. ......
