An eminent ER doctor and health policy expert has warned that President Donald Trumps government shutdown talk about deserving patients mirrors a eugenics policy adopted by the Nazis.
The shutdown is about to enter its fourth week after Congress failed to pass full-year funding. The White House and Speaker Mike Johnson are demanding spending cuts and immigration concessions, while Senate Democrats insist on extending ACA subsidies and undoing the summer healthcare cuts before reopening agencies.
Dr. Craig Spencer, who lectures on the history of health and eugenics at Brown University and is one of the countrys most influential clinician voices on emergency care, said the administrations framing echoes Americas 1920s policy of sorting people by worthiness
cloaked in whats acceptable by the state.
Its not a stretch to say this administration is touting a eugenics agenda, which was perfected by the U.S. in the 1920s and 1930s and later adopted by the Nazis. People dont want to call it that because it feels unsayable. But its real, Spencer told the Daily Beast.
