Well, of course they will, gotta keep that cash flowing and get more involved in controlling citizen’s lives
Climate Change to Be Treated as Public-Health Issue
The Department of Health and Human Services is preparing to launch an office that will treat climate change as a public health issue, designed to address what the White House says are health risks including those that disproportionately affect poor and minority communities.
Many details of the new Office of Climate Change and Health Equity, which will report to a White House climate task force, were outlined in a January executive order on climate, part of President Biden’s efforts to use the power of the federal government to address the environmental effects of changing weather.
People familiar with the planning for the new office said resources are being assembled now, without providing further details. The HHS declined to comment, including on when the new office would be operative, but the agency’s website says a briefing is scheduled Monday morning regarding the Biden administration’s “efforts to tackle the climate crisis.â€
The new office is likely to spur initiatives touching on many aspects of healthcare, according to people briefed on the planning and White House releases. It is expected to offer protections for populations most at risk—including the elderly, minorities, rural communities and children—and could eventually lead to policies compelling hospitals and other care facilities to reduce carbon emissions, the people said.
The move is certain to draw opposition from many Republicans and conservative activists who criticized HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra during his spring 2021 confirmation process for policy positions he took while serving as California’s attorney general. These include his support of “environmental justice,†a movement that focuses on preventing a disproportionate share of negative environmental consequences for any population.
The rest is behind the Wall Street Journal paywall, have at it if you have access. The thing about “environmental justice” is that you the climate cult thinks all “minorities” are pretty much incapable of doing anything on their own, that they cannot survive without the Helpful Hand of Government. What’s the word for looking down on “minorities”, thinking so little of them? Oh, right, racist. That’s what the whole environmental justice movement is about. Racism.
This whole push will give the federal government even more power over your healthcare and the way you live your life, and will surely lead to more fights and lawsuits from private organizations and Republican states as the federal government continues to over-step their Constitutional boundaries.
Lol
Almost all the states that have the lowest life spans are red states
I think they do need federal help they die so young
Really? You degenerate fool now associates life span with red or blue states? Can you perhaps get more mercenary in your next comment? Is there nothing in your warped brain that does not equate to partisan politics?
Take it easy.
The retarded Buddhist stoner just finished another bowl and he’s all lit up.
#Bwaha! Lolgf
The WSJ author included rural Americans as well.
Teach, of course, makes it an issue of race, even though most of our elderly are white, most of our children are white, most of our rural citizens are white, and many of our minorities are white! Teach believes helping others denotes weakness rather than any degree of injustice.
Government assistance is fascism! (Except if it benefits rich white people).
