Don Blankenship on Health Care

WV Senate contender and Constitution Party presidential nominee

 


Eliminate the Food and Drug Administration

The federal government has no Constitutional provision to regulate or restrict the freedom of the people to have access to medical care, supplies or treatments. We advocate, therefore, the elimination of the federal Food and Drug Administration, as it has been the federal agency primarily responsible for prohibiting beneficial products, treatments and technologies here in the United States that are freely available in much of the rest of the civilized world.

COVID pandemic: government-created crisis from China Virus

Our government loves to create crises and then claim they will save us from those crises. They currently want us to see them as "our compassionate saviors" as they rush to return a small portion of our taxes to us as we suffer from a deadly pandemic caused by the "China Virus". Our government is unable to give Americans the medicines they need and instead they are attempting to placate us with a little money.

The virus has caused politicians to suddenly realize that our medicines come from China. Our Senators are now telling us they are anxious to fix that crisis for us as well. It does not even dawn on them that they created the crisis. Politicians who for years have called China a "key trading partner" are now calling China a "liar", a "propagandist".

Our most expensive import from China this year will be a "coronavirus". The cost of this virus to Americans, just this year, will be greater than all the money we will receive for all the products we will export to China this decade.
