Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s article in The Wall Street Journal brings urgent attention to the chronic disease epidemic gripping the United States. Regardless of your thoughts on RFK Jr., we can all agree that our children deserve to be healthy. While we may not all agree on the path to achieving that goal, it is clear that something must be done to change the current trajectory of our nation’s health.
Nearly 50 percent of children and 60 percent of adults are living with chronic illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. As health care costs skyrocket and life expectancy stagnates, it’s clear that the current system is not addressing the root causes of these issues.
In his article, RFK Jr. outlined several key reforms to address these problems, including overhauling pharmaceutical regulations, banning harmful pesticides, and promoting preventive health education in medical schools. While these reforms are crucial steps toward tackling the crisis, I believe we must go even further if we hope to truly reverse the chronic disease epidemic and transform the nation’s health.
For those who haven’t read RFK Jr.’s plan, here is a quick summary of his main points:
- Reform the Prescription Drug User Fee Act to reduce pharmaceutical industry influence on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
- Prohibit U.S. Department of Agriculture nutrition panel members from profiting from food or drug companies.
- Review and possibly limit direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising.
- Prevent National Institutes of Health (NIH) funds from going to researchers with conflicts of interest.
- Cap drug prices to align U.S. costs with international standards.
- Restrict Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits from being used to buy unhealthy foods such as soda.
- Revisit U.S. pesticide and chemical standards to align with stricter global regulations.
- Require nutrition education and functional medicine in medical schools.
- Reform crop subsidies to promote healthier food production.
- Reinstate Presidential Fitness Test standards for Americans’ physical health.
- Allocate more NIH research funds to preventive and holistic health approaches.
- Expand Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) to give Americans more control over their health care choices.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
