HOW TO STOP THE HEALTHCARE CRISIS

This Comprehensive Report was first written by me July 16, 2018 based on my prior Reports starting in 1984.

America spends the most on health care, ranks last among the top 19 nations, ranks last on measures of preventable mortality and treatable mortality (as defined by prevention or timely and effective treatment of hypertension, diabetes, stroke, heart disease or renal failure), has one of the highest infant mortality rates, obesity rates, and a lower life expectancy (4 years less).  America had the highest excess mortality attributable to Covid-19 among people younger than 75 years of age in 2021.  And America has the highest rate of death from self-harm – suicide and assault.  About 80% of all health care dollars are spent on chronic illnesses that are self-induced.  As “excess deaths” rise, health care costs will soar.

(American Diabetes Association –  total cost of diabetes in the United States was nearly $413 billion in 2024, up 27% over the past six years).

Just providing health insurance to people isn’t enough to fix the U.S. healthcare system because:

 

• • Minimal attention to: Prevention; Patient Responsibility; Reform of FDA, Big Pharma and Health Insurance Companies; and Government Intervention.

  • Not Enough Primary Care Doctors

  • Patients and doctors spend too much time on insurance paperwork and bills, making the system inefficient.

  • High Costs: 

    • 1) Hospitals buy medical practices and other hospitals, and these health “systems” gain power to set high prices compared to independent physician practices.

    • 2) Private investors buy medical practices and increase fees.

    • Independent physicians are not permitted to charge the same price for the same exact service as hospital systems so they can no longer compete financially and are forced to sell their practice resulting in 75% of all Physicians in the United States are Employees

    • 3) Big Pharma, Health Insurance, Administrative 

Despite spiraling costs, there is little progress in combating major diseases. Our focus on treatment, with minimal attention to prevention, creates a cost explosive situation that grows exponentially. The following need to be addressed simultaneously To Stop The Healthcare Crisis:

1) SIMONE HEALTHY START™ PREVENTION PROGRAM and more
2) PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY
3) MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN™ PROGRAM
4) GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
5) FDA REFORM
6) STOP BIG PHARMA
7) STOP HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES
8) STOP POLLUTION

Healthcare costs continue to rise: in 1992 $847 billion, in 2000 $1.3 trillion, and more than $5 trillion now.  Despite “wellness” programs and growing efforts to contain hospital, physician, and other medical expenses, the cost of medical insurance plans increase dramatically.

https://www.kff.org/health-costs/press-release/benchmark-survey-annual-family-premiums-for-employer-coverage-rise-7-to-nearly-24000-in-2023/

Against the background of ever-upward-spiraling healthcare costs that include costs related to millions and millions of global “excess deaths” (https://tinyurl.com/5n7tajc5), we have seen surprisingly little progress in combating major diseases. Our primary focus on treatment, with minimal attention to prevention, has created a cost explosive situation that will continue to grow exponentially. Our losing war against cancer illuminates this grave challenge.

Despite the hundreds of billions of dollars that have been spent on cancer research and treatment, the number of new cases of every form of cancer has increased.  Despite all of our current treatments and technology, lifespans for persons afflicted with almost every form of adult cancer have remained constant – which means, tragically, that there has been no significant progress in the treatment of adult cancer.

THE URGENCY OF PREVENTION 

Prevention requires individual self discipline that is not a readily popular formula.  The myth of finding a silver bullet prevails while the results of treatment continue to be unimpressive:

• Strict genetics have little to do with our chronic diseases

• Approximately 60% of women’s cancers, 40% of men’s cancers, and 75% of cardiovascular diseases are related to nutritional factors

• About 30% of cancers are caused by tobacco

• These and other CONTROLLABLE risk factors account for 95% of all cancers and heart diseases.

This information is well known to some scientists and some physicians, but is still dimly comprehended by most of the medical community – and even less so by the general public.  And, alas, this knowledge has almost been ignored by Congress and other government agencies.

Yet this continuing de-emphasis on causative factors, with a growing emphasis on treatment, is the root contradiction in American life that must be addressed before healthcare costs can be contained.

About 90% to 95% of all chronic illnesses are preventable.  The logic that should follow this transcendent fact stares us in the face: Healthcare costs can be reduced and not just contained if people elect to modify their risk factors.  This is a process that can come into being through individual behavior along with courageous initiatives by the federal government. 

The following are broad issues that must be addressed simultaneously if we as a nation seriously wish to contain and Stop The Healthcare Crisis:

1) SIMONE HEALTHY START™ PREVENTION PROGRAM and more

2) PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY  

3) MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY™ PROGRAM

4) GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION 

5) FDA REFORM 

6) STOP BIG PHARMA 

7) STOP HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES  

8) STOP POLLUTION

In 1992 and in 1994 I outlined many of these broad issues (published in The Mercury and Health Security) that still hold true that must be addressed if we as a nation seriously wish to contain and reduce healthcare costs. 

“Health industry’s priorities must shift” – Interview of Charles B. Simone, M.D. by Herb Denenberg  October 31, 1992 in The Mercury

HOW TO REDUCE AMERICA’S RUNAWAY HEALTHCARE COSTS – Charles B. Simone, M.D. July/August 1994 in Health Security

     –

 

1)

1) SIMONE HEALTHY START™ PREVENTION PROGRAM Started in 1980 

https://bit.ly/3WJdVw0 (click here for more)

The Simone Healthy Start™ Prevention Program was first started in 1980 by Charles B. Simone, M.MS., M.D.  It is described as the only prevention program in the country. The key to prevention is to teach our children early in life about a healthy lifestyle.  

“If everyone would follow Dr. Simone’s Plan, we would put cancer doctors out of work.”   (1980)

Robert A Good, M.D., Ph.D., Former Director Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Hospital (1972-1982), NYC

 

Prevention with simple changes in lifestyle is the key to America’s soaring health care costs and soaring rates of cancer, cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, etc. The National Academy of Sciences indicates that 60% of women’s cancers and 40% of men’s cancers and 80% of cardiovascular diseases are related to nutritional factors alone.

The Simone Healthy Start™ Prevention Program is designed to teach children about healthful lifestyles early in life. The Program consists of planned lunches, newsletters sent home, assemblies to instruct about the “good” and “bad” foods as well as other lifestyle factors. Either with individual seminars or during a three-month period, we instruct young children about each aspect of the Ten Fascinating Stops on the Way to Good Health

This program needs to be expanded across the United States.

In addition to PREVENTION, WE MUST CONTINUE TO RESEARCH TECHNIQUES THAT WILL DETECT CANCERS MUCH EARLIER

1. 1. Proteomic Patterns and Mass Spectrometry – using proteomic patterns, I was one of the investigators to show that prostate cancer and ovarian cancer could be detected much earlier compared to current techniques. 

      1. 1. Petricoin EF 3rd, Ornstein DK, Paweletz CP, Ardekani A, Hackett PS, Hitt BA, Velassco A, Trucco C, Wiegand L, Wood K, Simone CB, Levine PJ, Linehan WM, Emmert-Buck MR, Steinberg SM, Kohn EC, Liotta LA. Serum proteomic patterns for detection of prostate cancer.  J Natl Cancer Inst.  2002 Oct 16; 94(20):1576-8.

   2. Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight (SELDI-TOF) Mass Spectrometry: analyses  protein patterns in body fluids like serum or plasma, aiming to identify unique proteomic signatures that indicate cancer presence at an early stage. 

   3. Liquid Biopsies:

      • Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA): Early detection of cancer can be achieved through the analysis of ctDNA, which is DNA shed from tumor cells into the bloodstream. Next-generation sequencing techniques can detect mutations indicative of cancer before physical symptoms appear.

      • Exosomes and Microvesicles: These extracellular vesicles carry proteins, RNA, and DNA from cancer cells, offering another avenue for early detection through their molecular content analysis.

   4. Metabolomics:

      • Using high-throughput technologies like NMR spectroscopy or mass spectrometry, metabolomic profiles from blood or urine can be compared to detect cancer-specific changes in small molecule concentrations. This can include the detection of free glycosaminoglycans as potential biomarkers for various cancers, especially at early stages.

   5. Imaging Techniques: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scans will continue to improve

   6. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:

      • AI algorithms are being developed to analyze patterns in medical images, genetic data, and proteomic profiles to predict cancer presence or risk with high accuracy, sometimes even before traditional methods would show any anomaly.

The challenge lies in validating these methods in clinical settings to ensure they provide reliable, reproducible results for early detection across diverse patient populations.

2) 

Today, a person who is healthy and constantly modifying his/her disease risk factors is actually subsidizing someone else who goes through life with risk factors and does nothing to modify or change them.  Healthcare costs can be reduced, not just contained, if everyone elects to modify his/her controllable risk factors as per our patented program

 

You can view all of our video interviews about personal responsibility and prevention at youtube.com    @DrCharlesSimone

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3) 

 MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY™ PROGRAM (click here https://bit.ly/2u0l4OR)

     All of Dr Simone’s research in prevention, detection, and treatment culminate to his most compelling work that will positively change the healthcare system.  Recognizing a looming health care crisis, he submitted to the U.S. Patent Office a simple method in 1993 that was finally patented.  Dr Simone’s method is imperative to follow.  Employees, no matter what duration of employment, pay an increased portion of health insurance premiums AND can voluntarily participate in the program that quantifies costs for controllable risk factors.  Employees can change that behavior or take personal responsibility for the increased cost attributable to the behavior by paying more for insurance.  America spends the most on health, ranks last among the top 19 nations, and has one of the highest infant mortality rates.  Without Simone’s initiative, we will witness the catastrophic collapse of the health system – then America as we know it (MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY  https://bit.ly/2u0l4OR).

 

 

4)

While relying on individual behavior, the federal government must take courageous initiatives to encourage a healthy lifestyle to normalize controllable risk factors that will decrease diseases, and decrease the risk of war and piracy

By 2050 the world’s population is predicted to be 9 billion people and crop yields must increase by 50%. The global market supplies most of the world’s food supply and relies on three crops: corn (maize), wheat, and rice. Most of this goes to feed livestock. The publication called Chokepoints and Vulnerabilities in Global Food Trade by the Chatham House (https://www.chathamhouse.org/2017/06/chokepoints-and-vulnerabilities-global-food-trade ) shows that the global food system relies on getting through 14 chokepoints like the Panama Canal, Suez Canal, Black Sea ports, Strait of Hormuz, US inland waterways and rail network, and Brazil’s road network. These chokepoints are subject to weather, war, piracy, and other vulnerabilities.

 

Healthy foods result in better health outcomes. However, the current world’s population has demanded a more westernized diet that dramatically increases the risk for cancer and other chronic diseases: high in red meat, cheese, processed foods, high in glucose and saturated fats, high in food additives, insecticides, pesticides, and low in fiber. This was the subject of our first book in 1980, Cancer and Nutrition.

Point 8. REVIEW ALL RISK FACTORS
Point 9. EXERCISE, RELAX, SPIRITUALITY, SEXUALITY.  
Point 10. EXECUTIVE PHYSICAL

When people take personal responsibility for their health by eating low-fat, low sugar, high-fiber foods, their health will improve, there will be less risk for war and piracy because there will be less demand for these foods, and there will be a reduction in the production of a major greenhouse gas, methane.

Greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere and include water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.  Carbon dioxide has been considered to be the leading cause of global warming but methane is 25 to 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Methane rises into the air, reacts with hydroxyl radical to form water vapor and carbon dioxide. Methane’s lifespan in the atmosphere is about 9.6 years. The U.S. Food and Agriculture Organization says that methane output could increase by 60 percent by 2030 [Source: Times Online]. 

SOURCES OF METHANE

 

https://bit.ly/2DZekoc

LANDFILLS – ROTTING FOOD: FOOD WASTE, “EXPIRED FOOD” – each person throws away about 1/2 pound of food every day accounting for about 34% of all methane emissions. About 33% of the world’s agricultural land area grows food that ultimately is wasted.

Rotting food (Food Waste and “Expired” Food) is from:

34% – Consumers in America, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea often buy more than they need and let it rot before they use it; or throw away good food that has a date that indicates it is expired thinking the expiration date is related to safety when in reality it is related to quality of taste. For the average family of 4 in America, food waste costs between $1500 and $2200 per year. 

    

U.S. school cafeterias waste about 530,000 tons of food per year that equals 1.9 million metric tons of greenhouse gases, 20.9 billion gallons of water, and $1.7 billion.

33% – of the world’s agricultural land area grows food that ultimately is wasted.

33% – Handling/storage, Processing, Distribution

 

Landfill Methane Capture is already used successfully.  https://archive.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/solutions/technologies/methane.html

TERMITES globally produce about 20 million tons of methane each year.  Get rid of the dead wood on the ground in our forests to decrease the termite population and also to decrease the risk of forest fires.

COWS AND OTHER GRAZING ANIMALS Globally there are about 1.5 billion cows (65% are in Brazil, China, and India) and billions of other grazing animals that emit massive amounts of methane through belching, with a lesser amount through flatulence. Two-thirds of all ammonia comes from cows. The release of about 100 kg methane per year for each cow is equivalent to about 2,500 kg carbon dioxide per year.  Some experts say the average dairy cow expels 100 liters to 200 liters a day (or about 26 gallons to about 53 gallons), while others say it’s up to 500 liters (about 132 gallons) a day.

Methane production is decreased by more than 50% when cows eat their normal diet mixed with seaweed (red macroalga Asparagopsis taxiformis) because more halogenated methane analogues are produced. The seaweed did not change the taste of milk or ice cream.

THAWING PERMAFROST releases equal amounts of carbon dioxide and methane that come from decomposing dead animals and plants.  Water-saturated permafrost soils without oxygen can be twice as harmful to the climate as dry soils because methane is 25 to 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. 

FRACKING releases methane but a study from the University of Texas at Austin looked at 190 fracking sites across the U.S. and found two-thirds had equipment in place that captured and reduced methane emissions by 99%.  We must ensure that the other one third of fracking sites install this equipment. https://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/early/2013/09/10/1304880110.full.pdf

GENE THERAPY “VACCINE,” BIOWEAPON 2 (COUNTERMEASURE “VACCINE” – NOT EFFECTIVE, NOT SAFE, NOT MADE AT “WARP SPEED” (https://tinyurl.com/5n7tajc5) caused millions of excess deaths and millions of deaths from diseases that are inconsistent with early or late age, or from aggressive diseases that are unexpected in those who have had stable and non-aggressive diseases – all resulting in a cost that is yet to be tallied.  Because of these evolving findings, some states in the United States and some countries are banning (2024) this COVID-19 gene therapy “vaccine.”

We don’t need to go to China, we don’t need Chinese cooperation.  The labs have been scrubbed, and files deleted, and even genetic files obtained by the NIH from the Chinese scientists have been deleted by our own NIH. 

Everything we need to know is in plain sight.  All the collaborators and profiteers are in plain sight and they have violated the U.S. Constitution (Article 6), the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention Treaty, the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, the U.S participating in the Nuremberg Trials of 1947 establishing the Nuremberg Code and how patients had to be treated, the Declaration of Helsinki for research patients, and the American Medical Association Code of Ethics on Informed Consent.

“many of Gardasil’s issues (e.g., autoimmunity, POTS, infertility, death) are identical to those seen with the COVID-19 vaccines. In turn, there are remarkable parallels to how they were approved (e.g., doctored trials covered up vaccine injuries) and how far the FDA and CDC went to protect those products from scrutiny.”

STOP AND REMOVE ALL mRNA GENE THERAPIES (wrongly identified as “Vaccines”) UNTIL AND UNLESS THEY ARE THOROUGHLY AND TRANSPARENTLY STUDIED FOR AT LEAST 10 to 12 YEARS WITH THE DATA IMMEDIATELY PUBLISHED IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN. 

 

Fauci describes how a vaccine can cause great harm with time

https://rumble.com/v1owpcx-fauci-describes-how-a-vaccine-can-cause-great-harm-with-time.html

mRNA gene therapy “vaccines” were studied since 1989 and abandoned by vaccinologists because of the great harm.

REPEAL the 1980 BAYH-DOLE ACT that allows federally funded scientists to patent their findings.  These patents belong to the U.S. taxpayer.  By repealing the Act it would also eliminate Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) that prevents the government from being able to use march-in rights that normally allows the government to ensure taxpayer-funded products can be accessed at a reasonable price.

Executive Order to immediately tax by 200% all payments to federally funded people if they take payments via the Bayh-Dole Act until the Act is repealed.

REPEAL the 1986 NATIONAL VACCINE INJURY COMPENSATION ACT (previously National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act as signed by President Reagan) that currently protects Big Pharma by eliminating all liabilities from their vaccines. The U.S. taxpayers pay for the injuries or deaths from the vaccines.

Executive Order to eliminate protection until the Act is repealed.

REVIEW IMMEDIATELY ALL VACCINES GIVEN TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS REGARDING SAFETY AND EFFICACY – REMOVE THOSE THAT CAUSE HARM AND THOSE WITHOUT EFFICACY.   ALL VACCINES MUST HAVE RIGOROUS LONG TERM SAFETY AND EFFICACY DATA TO REMAIN IN THE MARKET AND BEFORE BEING APPROVED.  

Executive Order to effect this.

 

REVERT BACK TO ORIGINAL DEFINITION OF A VACCINE THAT THE CDC CHANGED TO ACCOMODATE BIG PHARMA’s NEED FOR THE COVID-19 “VACCINE.” 

Original definition: “A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease.”

November 4, 2021 definition: “A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases.”

 

REPEAL the PREP ACT (Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act) that provides immunity from liability from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions.

Executive Order to eliminate PREP ACT until the Act is repealed.

STOP ANY BIG PHARMA COMPANY FROM SELLING ALL PRODUCTS FOR A PERIOD OF AT LEAST 15 YEARS IF THEY HAVE BEEN CONVICTED OF SERIAL FELONIES, LYING ABOUT THE SCIENCE THEY HAVE SUBMITTED TO FDA, LYING TO PHYSICIANS, AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FROM THEIR PRODUCT.  NO LONGER SHOULD FINES ALONE BE THEIR PUNISHMENT.

 

 

REFORM HHS 

TERM LIMITS FOR SECRETARY AND HIS/HER IMMEDIATE ASSISTANTS.  With careful consideration and review, fire the top three layers of people of every section if needed.

MERGE RELATED FUNCTIONS 

FOCUS STRICTLY ON SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH 

TRANSPARENCY AND NO CENSORSHIP: SHARE DATA QUICKLY DURING A HEALTH CRISIS AND ALLOW VOICES FROM OUTSIDE SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICANS TO BE HEARD

BUDGET TRANSPARENCY AND SHIFT MUCH MORE FUNDS TO PREVENTION (mammograms are not prevention), MENTAL HEALTH. 

FOCUS ON GRASSROOTS HEALTH PROGRAMS LIKE SIMONE HEALTHY START™ PREVENTION PROGRAM

REDUCE ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS

FOCUS ON HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM EMPHASIZING PERSONAL RESPONSIBLITY

EXPAND DIGITAL HEALTHCARE

COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY OF ALL RESEARCH, FUNDING, AND MISCONDUCT

NO MISINFORMATION OR DYSINFORMATION – ANYONE INVOLVED WILL BE PROSECUTED 

STOP any federal government employee from ever working for their corresponding non-governmental company, etc over which they regulate.

 

REFORM EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION

Currently, without oversight the Secretary of HHS can declare Emergency Use Authorization.  The EUA negates FDA “safety and efficacy” regulations.  You can change labeling, dosages, information, and intended people. 

This must stop.

There must be complete transparency with detailed reports to Congress

The Emergency Use Authorization can only be declared by the Secretary of HHS if there is a “novel” or new feature to a virus (COVID-19) that presents as a new threat that can be isolated, identified, evidenced and supported by clear data.

1) in the case of the COVID-19 virus, it was not novel because there were 73 patents on parts of this virus and scores of medical papers, and

2) there were effective treatments

Also, Obama removed SARS from the Biological Select Agents and Toxins List (BSAT) because SARS – Coronavirus – no longer posed a threat to humans.

• • • • One reform that can be considered is The REPUBLIC Act: Introduced by Senator Rand Paul, this legislation aims to balance immediate presidential action in crises with Congressional oversight. Key features include:

        • Allowing the President to act for 30 days before requiring Congressional approval.

        • Prohibiting the President from re-declaring emergencies for the same issue without Congressional approval.

        • Terminating the President’s authority over U.S. communications infrastructure under the Communications Act of 1934.

      • ARTICLE ONE Act: This bipartisan effort would require any presidential emergency declaration to be approved by Congress within 30 days or else it expires, aiming to restore Congressional checks on executive power.

REFORM NIH  INCLUDING NIAID IN PARTICULAR

TERM LIMITS FOR INSTITUTE DIRECTORS AND THEIR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANTS.  With careful consideration and review, fire the top three layers of people of every section if needed.  And more attention is needed regarding NIAID.

MERGE RELATED INSTITUTES AND CENTERS AND FOCUS ON SYSTEMIC HEALTH ISSUES RATHER THAN ORGAN-SPECIFIC DISEASES 

FOCUS STRICTLY ON SCIENTIFIC ADVANCEMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH 

TRANSPARENCY OF ALL RESEARCH, FUNDING, AND MISCONDUCT WITHOUT CENSORSHIP: SHARE DATA QUICKLY DURING A HEALTH CRISIS AND ALLOW VOICES FROM OUTSIDE SCIENTISTS AND PHYSICANS TO BE HEARD

NO MISINFORMATION OR DYSINFORMATION – ANYONE INVOLVED WILL BE PROSECUTED 

PRIORITIZE HIGH-IMPACT RESEARCH RATHER THAN LESS EFFECTIVE OR POLITICALLY MOTIVATED PROJECTS.

INCREASE FUNDING FOR YOUNG INVESTIGATORS WITH INNOVATIVE IDEAS RATHER THAN CONTINUED FUNDING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN GETTING FUNDS RESULTING IN DECREASING RETURNS OF SCIENTIFIC FINDINGS

ENHANCE THE NIH COMMON FUND FOR INNOVATIVE, HIGH-RISK / HIGH-REWARD RESEARCH

2017 – FCC reversed a regulation that had prevented one company from owning multiple television stations in markets that didn’t have at least eight independent stations and prevented one company from owning both a newspaper and broadcast station or TV and radio station in the same market.

2021 – Supreme Court overturned an appeals ruling asking the FCC to study the potential impact on female and minority ownership in the media. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said consolidation could benefit consumers.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced prices on August 15, 2024 for the first 10 drugs subject to price negotiation under the Inflation Reduction Act beginning in January 2026.  It was called a “major achievement.”  https://t.co/aui4F1Joz8  The efficacy and benefit of those ten drugs were not even addressed.  TheTwenty Most Costly Drugs in 2017 for Medicare Part B and D (below) provide little to no benefit and cost dramatically less globally. 

In 2018, CMS spent nearly $1.4 billion on peg-filtrastim (aka Neulasta) compared to the estimated $2.4 billion spent on radiation…ALL OF RADIATION. (“There is no evidence supporting the use of Granulocyte Colony Stimulating Factor [peg-filtrastim] in the treatment of pneumonia and it does not appear to reduce mortality” – Cochrane).

.

     Sometimes there are financial conflicts that arise when one treatment is considered over another treatment.  And sometimes Big Pharma makes a drug that alters something like the amount of hepatitis C virus in the blood, but the drug does not extend life or improve the quality of life.  It has been said that the chief beneficiaries of treatments that don’t change survival and cause harm, including cancer and death, are often some in the medical community, pharmaceutical companies, and their stockholders.  

     We really need to start thinking in terms of EFFECTIVE or NONEFFECTIVE treatment and tell patients about treatments in those terms. And not pay for medicines that are NONEFFECTIVE.  Please read my Report: LIES IN MEDICINE   https://www.simonesuperenergy.com/lies-in-medicine/

     Physicians are considered unimpeachable in the eyes of the public and, according to some, “easy prey” whose behavior could be easily swayed by marketing.

     Big Pharma sometimes promotes their drugs as being effective by using the same playbook – obtain science/medical information funded by U.S. taxpayers, pay doctors to do studies, pay for the studies, review medical manuscripts before they are submitted to desirable medical journals, get published, pay “thought leader” doctors to read verbatim the seminar slides provided by Big Pharma touting the drug’s positive effects, pay doctors to listen to these “seminars,” and get those drugs into pharmacies. The doctors who attend these seminars promoted by Big Pharma are more likely to write prescriptions for the drug being discussed.  

     And perhaps, as I have written in the past, aggressive treatment to keep a person alive in the last several weeks of his or her life would stop if the patient and the family were truly informed about the futility of such efforts. The costs of health care provided to a patient in terminal stages in a hospital are enormous and consume anywhere from 20 to 30 percent of all the health-care dollars. The patient and the family may be responsible for this because they “want everything done.” The physician is partly responsible because “our technology should help these patients.” And the legal profession may, in part, be responsible as well; if everything is not done, will the family sue the physician?

     I have used Cochrane Reviews for evaluation of each drug’s efficacy and some published articles when Cochrane has not.  Cochrane reviewed the available published medical papers, but some of these papers compare the drug only to placebo and not to existing inexpensive treatments, thus conferring a favorable outcome for the drug.

Our (Cochrane) mission [is] to provide accessible, credible information to support informed decision-making…for improving global health.  Cochrane produces systematic reviews of primary research in human health care and policy. Each Cochrane Review addresses a clearly formulated question. In the Internet age, people have much greater access to health information, but little way of knowing whether that information is accurate and unbiased. Cochrane is committed to independence, transparency, and integrity in healthcare research.  We do not accept commercial or conflicted funding. This is vital for us to generate authoritative and reliable information, working freely, unconstrained by commercial and financial interests. https://www.cochrane.org/evidence

BUNDLED PAYMENTS IN U.S. HEALTHCARE – NOT EFFECTIVE, NOT FAIR

The concept of bundled payments in the United States aims to curb the ever-rising costs of healthcare by setting a predetermined fee for complete episodes of care. This approach includes all services from a patient’s hospital admission through to a defined period after discharge, incentivizing healthcare providers to manage resources more efficiently. When providers can deliver care for less than this set amount, they earn bonuses, but if costs exceed the bundle, they face financial penalties.

Historically, programs like the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPCI-A) have been voluntary, allowing hospitals to opt-in. However, this initiative led to unexpected financial losses for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) because the bonuses paid out surpassed the savings achieved. Similarly, the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) program was criticized for disproportionately penalizing safety-net hospitals, which often serve more complex and high-risk patients, despite achieving cost savings.

Looking to the future, the Transforming Episode Accountable Model (TEAM), set to launch in January 2026, introduces a mandatory participation in selected regions. This initiative will concentrate on specific procedures like joint replacements, with the goal of enhancing care coordination. However, TEAM faces its own set of challenges:

Mandatory Participation: While this could drive genuine healthcare transformation, it might replicate past issues with savings if not structured carefully.

Equity: Although TEAM provides various options, the uniformity or lack thereof in regional pricing could fail to incentivize all providers equally, especially those in regions with higher operational costs.

Risk Adjustment: There’s a continuous challenge in accurately adjusting for patient risk to prevent unfairly penalizing hospitals that treat a population with higher medical complexities.

Skepticism persists regarding the overall effectiveness and fairness of bundled payment systems. The success of TEAM, and bundled payments in general, will largely depend on its ability to tackle these equity issues, improve patient outcomes, and genuinely reduce costs, thereby proving its worth in reshaping America’s approach to healthcare economics.

But just providing health insurance or bundled payments, etc. to people are not enough to fix the U.S. healthcare system because:

Minimal attention to: Prevention; Patient Responsibility; Reform of FDA, Big Pharma and Health Insurance Companies; and Government Intervention.

Not Enough Primary Care Doctors Patients and doctors spend too much time on insurance paperwork and bills, making the system inefficient.

High Costs:

1) Hospitals buy medical practices and other hospitals, and these health “systems” gain power to set high prices compared to independent physician practices. (PRIVATE EQUITY OWNED HOSPITALS INCREASE HEALTH CARE COSTS, INCREASE COMPLICATIONS FOR PATIENTS BY 25%, AND HAVE A HIGHER RATE OF DEATHS) http://tinyurl.com/4htpmhub

2) Private investors buy medical practices and increase fees.

   STOP BIG PHARMA “freeloading” – the taxpayer contributes a significant amount to a new drug BIG PHARMA SAYS NEW DRUG COSTS $1.3 BILLION, BUT REALLY LESS THAN $125 MILLION – full Report   

https://www.simonesuperenergy.com/big-pharma-says-new-drug-costs-1-3-billion-but-really-less-than-125-million/

GlaxoSmithKline chief executive officer Andrew Witty said the pharmaceutical industry’s estimate of $1+ billion in average cost to develop a drug is “one of the great myths of the industry,” according to Reuters March 15, 2013. Cost to discover new drugs is about 15% of what is estimated and 1.3% of revenues after deducting taxpayer subsidies.

People are outraged by the high costs of medicines.  These high costs will break health systems’ budgets.  Big Pharma companies are raising drug prices higher and higher, not because of costs or of curing or controlling diseases, but because they can get away with it, especially in the United States.  These companies are not developing better drugs for these higher prices.  In fact, most new drugs provide no clinical advantage and one of five cause serious harm.  In 2012, 11 of 12 cancer drugs cost more than $100,000 per year and only one of them extended life for only a few weeks.  

In 2016, Big Pharma aired 1.3 million ads on television for prescription and over-the-counter drugs and other health messages costing about $4.6 billion (iSpot.tv) that you, the taxpayer have subsidized because Big Pharma deducts that cost from their income tax. 

 

STOP BIG PHARMA from raising older drug prices 20% to 25% per year – price gouging, “pay for delay” (violate antitrust laws), “product hopping” (make minor change and get new patent).  No other country allows this.  Do you pay more for last year’s car?  Please read my full Report: BIG PHARMA AND FEDS BLOCK GENERIC CANCER DRUGS   https://www.simonesuperenergy.com/big-pharma-and-feds-blocks-generic-cancer-drugs/

STOP “gag-order” clauses – The pharmacist must tell the patient if a generic equivalent drug is less expensive than paying for a prescription using insurance.

STOP higher costs for mail order drugs – Medicare/Medicaid found that more than a third of the mail order drugs cost more than if you went into a pharmacy.

STOP PBMs Pharmacy Benefit Managers – Some companies, municipalities, and Medicare (because of law)  don’t negotiate the price of drugs, so they rely on pharmacy benefit managers to negotiate down the prices. The price reductions are based on the list price in the form of rebates from BIG PHARMA and discounts from drugstores.  In return for the price reduction, the drug gets on the formularies making it easier for patients to get the drug because no prior authorization is needed.  The PBM pockets the rebates and discounts that should be passed on to consumers and patients.  So when a drug price goes up, the PBM profits.

STOP Big Pharma from using the Citizen-Petition Pathway that allows Big Pharma to delay competition that, for even a few months, can generate millions of dollars.  This Citizen-Petition Pathway was started in the 1970s by the FDA to allow the ordinary citizen to voice his/her concerns about a drug. But in recent years, the majority of the “concerned citizens” turn out to be Big Pharma companies invoking frivolous or questionable claims to delay generic drug competition.

STOP HOSPITAL MONOPOLIES – in most states hospitals enjoy a protective monopoly.  The rules and regulations profoundly discourage the building of new hospitals.  In many states, a hospital gets paid by a government agency for the number of beds they have whether filled or empty.  Teaching hospitals can charge what they wish, while most hospitals simply add on a hefty surcharge for those patients with good insurance to offset their losses from the under-insured or non-insured.  This is just one of many egregious examples of unfair “protected” practices that continue to inflate healthcare costs. 

If we allow competition in the construction and “marketing” of new hospitals and medical equipment, the marketplace will dictate fairness, the consumer then will be able to select a hospital, treatment center, or diagnostic testing facility on the basis of pricing and services.  If a hospital can no longer keep its beds filled – for whatever reason – then it must go out of business like any failing commercial enterprise.  The federal government must eliminate its protective unfair monopoly practices.  Outside auditing, as one small reform, would demonstrate the high cost to the public of inefficiently managed hospitals.

By January 2022, the proportion of hospital-employed physicians had risen to 52%, with another 22% of physicians being employed by other corporate entities. Most physicians now face the possibly new experience of being employees of increasingly large organizations — a challenging scenario for a profession that has jealously guarded its independence and autonomy.”  https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp2400463

 

STOP PRICE SUPPORTS FOR DISEASE CAUSATIVE PRODUCTS

There should be no direct or indirect support for any industry or group whose products are connected to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, etc., no matter how loud and intense the outcry of their many lobbyists. These industries include, but are not limited to tobacco, alcohol, beef, pork, etc.  One major side benefit: the government will no longer “dump” these high-fat foods in schools, hospitals, and nursing homes, where children and the elderly, the most vulnerable population groups, are seriously victimized.

STOP GOVERNMENT SUBSIDIES FOR TOBACCO

STOP ADVERTISING FOR DISEASE CAUSATIVE PRODUCTS

The advertising of tobacco and alcohol in all media must end.

The entire subject of children-directed advertising cries out for more serious attention.  And scientists should have academic freedom to investigate risk factors and disease, and directed advertising, without fear of legal harassment by companies or groups with vested interests.  The Surgeon General’s “request” to RJR to end using Camel Joe in their advertising had little effect despite clear evidence by the medical profession (JAMA 1991) and internal memos from RJR that this cartoon character was being used to target young children as potential consumers of Camel cigarettes. 

Remember, it took the FDA a long time to shut down the Camel Joe comics that enticed children to smoke.

GOVERNMENT TO PREVENT GMO FOOD LABELING | Aug 14, 2015  https://www.simonesuperenergy.com/government-to-prevent-gmo-food-labeling/

Sixty-four countries require GMO food labeling but not the United States.   H.R. 1599, ironically called the Safe Food and Accurate Food Labeling Act (commonly referred to as the DARK Act – the Deny Americans the Right to Know Act about GMO food labeling), was passed by the House. Because Americans have a right to know, the bill is opposed by The Center for Food Safety, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), others, and myself (HARMFUL INGREDIENTS TO AVOID IN YOUR DRINK ) . The Bill was lobbied by the Grocery Manufacturers Association and sponsored by Mike Pompeo (R-KS).  

STOP HARMFUL INGREDIENTS IN FOODS AND DRINKS THAT negatively affect the gut microbiome causing chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, and increased intestinal permeability leading to proinflammatory diseases, metabolic syndrome, and obesity.  And some cross the placenta, are found in breast milk, and increase Methanobrevibacter species bacteria in the gut that is linked to obesity in children.

BENZENE IN YOUR BEVERAGES  https://tinyurl.com/mtjktzpj

79% of Diet Sodas Have High Levels of Benzene
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s own test results from 1995 to 2001 showed that 79% of diet soda samples tested (19 of 24 sodas) had benzene levels above 5 parts per billion, the federal limit for benzene in tap water.

Beverages With Vitamin C and Benzoate Form Benzene
In addition to diet beverages, any beverage that contains BOTH vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and a preservative called benzoate (either sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate) can react to form benzene, especially if the beverage is left in the heat or exposed to light. In fact, the FDA reports that solutions containing ascorbic acid and benzoate preservatives “typical of those used in beverage formulations” that were left for eight days at room temperature had benzene levels of 266 ppb.

STOP PRESCRIBING UNNECESSARY DIAGNOSITIC X-RAYS – Ionizing radiation causes cancer.  Mammograms, CT scans, therapeutic radiation, and other radiation exposures increase the risk for developing cancer.  In fact, about 15,000 people die every year from cancers caused by radiation from CT scans.  And children who had a CT scan had a 24% higher risk for developing cancer, with a 16% additional risk for each additional scan. Children who had one CT scan before age 5 had a 35% higher risk for cancer.  The lifetime risk of developing cancer attributable to diagnostic X-rays is 1% to 2%, except in Japan where it is 3.2%.

Children commonly receive an overdose of radiation when they have CT scans.  In fact, they receive doses that are at least five times greater than necessary. Radiologists can reduce the dose without compromising image quality but they do not. The number of indications CT scans are used for children has increased dramatically.  So if a child today has two or three CT scans of the same area – each giving 2 to 3 cGy per CT scan – over the long term, the risk of cancer is increased significantly.

Do children who hit their heads need a CT scan? Usually not.  A careful physical exam is all that is usually necessary. The exceptions are: if the physician suspects a skull fracture, or bleeding in the brain, or the child was in a car crash, or fell off a bike without a helmet, or is unconscious, or has hearing or visual loss.

UNINSURED MONEY EARNERS MUST PAY FOR HEALTH INSURANCE according to income reported and / or not reported.  Almost 76% of the uninsured are in families with adult workers: 46% are working adults under age 65 and another 30% are their spouses and children.  These workers are typically: self-employed; part-time; in small firms; earn less than the minimum wage; temporary or seasonal; lower skilled; involved in construction, sales, entertainment; repair, personal services, or agriculture.

TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS SHOULD ENJOY PHYSICAL AND MEDICAL COMFORT AT HOME.  A large percentage of healthcare dollars get expended during the last weeks of a patient’s life – a time when NO intervention will make a difference. 

Expanded use of home care personnel who need to know how to bathe, feed, and other services should be reimbursed for a number of hours per day.  The family is responsible for the rest of the 24 hours of the calendar day.  If the family elects not to provide for physical and mental comfort, then the family is taxed to offset the cost of increased utilization of home care personnel (deducted from family members’ social security, etc). If there is no family, then the cost would be borne by the Medicare/Medicaid system.  SAVINGS – ENORMOUS.

EXPAND “SIN” TAXES – Products to be taxed at point of sale should include those that are known to cause cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or other chronic diseases: foods high in fat, high in glucose, junk foods, as well as tobacco, alcohol, etc.  The tax on each such item must be sufficient to cover the increased healthcare dollars that would be needed to treat its abusers.

TAX ALL HEALTHCARE FRINGES AS INCOME – All fringe benefits, including healthcare premiums for medical, ophthalmology, dental, prescription plans, etc. should be counted as income and taxed.

PUNISH POLLUTERS – fines should be 10 times the cost of keeping the environment pollution free

STOP Food Stamps (SNAP) from paying for soda or other sugar drinks – this amounts to 10% of their budget.  33% of teens are pre-diabetic.

AMERICAN’S HEALTH MUST BE THE FDA’s TOP PRIORITY OVER CORPORATE PROFITS 

THE FDA MUST BE TRANSPARENT, HAVE NO OUTSIDE INFLUENCE, AND BE THE LEADER IN PREVENTING HEALTH PROBLEMS.  MORE THAN 60% OF ITS FUNDING COMES FROM COMPANIES THAT IT REGULATES.

Charles B. Simone, M.MS., M.D. speaks about Food and Drug Administration Reform at the National Press Club in February 1998.  The information is timeless.

https://www.fda.gov/about-fda/what-we-do

STOP FDA FROM RECEVING ANY FUNDING FROM INDUSTRIES IT REGULATES LIKE BIG PHARMA AND FOOD COMPANIES.  ALSO, NO FUNDING FROM INDIVIDUALS OR FOUNDATIONS THAT ARE ALLIED OR LOBBY FOR THESE COMPANIES.

TERM LIMITS FOR COMMISSIONER and IMMEDIATE ASSISTANTS.  With careful consideration and review, fire the top three layers of people of every section if needed.

THERE MUST BE TRANSPARENCY ABOUT THE DATA AND STANDARDS THE FDA USES TO MAKE JUDGMENTS ABOUT APPROVING DRUGS AND FOODS.

FDA MUST HAVE STRICTER REGULATORY STANDARDS CONCERNING FOOD ADDITIVES, DYES, AND PRESERVATIVES SIMILAR TO EUROPE WHERE CERTAIN FOOD ADDITIVES ARE BANNED. 

Emphasize PREVENTATIVE HEALTH rather than just REGULATION.  EMPHASIZE LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION, BETTER FOOD QUALITY, AND LESS HARMFUL INGREDIENTS. 

STREAMLINE APPROVAL OF NEW DRUGS WITH BETTER TRIAL DESIGN WHILE ENSURING SAFETY and EFFICACY. 

THERE MUST BE STRICT REGULATIONS ON WHAT CAN BE MARKETED AS SAFE, RIGOROUS PRE-MARKET SAFETY AND POST-MARKET SURVEILLANCE OF NEW PRODUCTS.  

 

 

Approve effective treatments that extend life.  Drugs that decrease a blood level of something like hepatitis C virus for instance has been shown not to extend life or improve the quality of life.  Cost for 12 week treatment of hepatitis C: $96,000 in USA; $77,000 in United Kingdom; $78 in India – that’s right seventy-eight dollars. 

Any prescription medicine on the market must be efficacious for the disease for which it is prescribed

Prohibit any FDA employee from ever working for Big Pharma in ANY capacity.   

Prohibit ANY complicit activity of an FDA employee with Big Pharma. 

FDA APPROVES CANCER DRUGS BASED ON TRIAL FLAWS Two-thirds of FDA cancer drug approvals from 187 trials had 1 or more of 4 flaws: non-randomized design; no survival advantage; suboptimal control arms; or inappropriate crossover! https://bit.ly/2PIEdNE

STOP MUSIC OF BIG PHARMA TV ADS The U.S. and New Zealand allow TV ads by Big Pharma. That should stop. Stop the pleasant music played during the ads because it purposely distracts consumers from the list of side-effects that can range from rash to cancer to death.

GOVERNMENT INTRUSION SOARS CANCER COSTS FOR YOU  The federal government, the biggest payer of cancer care, made cancer costs soar because Medicare pays an extra $6500 a year when chemotherapy is given to a patient in a hospital owned facility.

The costs will keep spiraling upward because of Government intrusion and clever lobbyists, forcing cancer patients from private practitioners to hospital owned facilities incurring much higher costs.    https://www.simonesuperenergy.com/government-intrusion-soars-cancer-costs-for-you/

Stop Premium Increases – rate hikes must be transparent and subject to public and regulatory scrutiny.

Stop hidden prices – prices for procedures must be transparent.  Require insurers to disclose how they calculate premiums, out-of-pocket costs, and coverage decisions.

EMPHASIZE PREVENTION

COVER TELEHEALTH SERVICES

 

Medical Loss Ratio (MLR) Enforcement: The Affordable Care Act (ACA) dictates that insurance companies must spend at least 80% of premium dollars on clinical services or quality improvement, with rebates to consumers if they fail to do so. Stricter enforcement or revision of these thresholds could ensure more money goes to care rather than administrative costs or profits.

Standardize Plans to make comparisons easier for consumers, especially regarding mental health, preventive care, and prescription drugs.

STOP MONOPOLIES – incentivize new companies to enter underserved areas. And break up large insurer conglomerates or prevent consolidations that reduce competition.

STOP DISCRIMINATORY PRACTICES: Prohibit denial of coverage for pre-existing conditions or essential treatments.

Set limits on maximum out-of-pocket expenses for consumers.

 

Stop “ghost networks” and impose large fines for them – these networks are medical providers who no longer participate with that insurance company.  The consumer is therefore deceived and signs up with the insurance company assuming that these providers are available.

Stop using personal data from social media and data brokers (like Optum, IBM Watson Health and LexisNexis – they collect data about medical diagnoses, tests, prescriptions, costs and socioeconomic data of the majority of Americans going back decades to determine charges; IBM Watson Health includes 442 nonmedical personal attributes to predict a person’s medical costs. Its cache includes more than 78 billion records from more than 10,000 public and proprietary sources, including people’s cellphone numbers, criminal records, bankruptcies, property records, neighborhood safety and more. The information is used to predict patients’ health risks and costs in eight areas, including how often they are likely to visit emergency rooms, their total cost, their pharmacy costs, their motivation to stay healthy and their stress levels;

Remove all loop holes that permit unfair profits;

STOP hidden fees;

Reduce “Administrative Fees;”

STOP collecting additional revenue by adding certain mark-ups to hospital claims paid by its self-insured customers: provider network fees, contingency/risk fees, retiree surcharges, and other-than-group subsidy fees (83 percent of its self-insured customers were completely unaware of the fees);

STOP cost shifting; 

STOP flouting regulations designed to protect consumers;

STOP skewing the political debate with multibillion-dollar PR campaigns to mislead the press and public;

STOP signing up healthy people and finding ways to avoid sick people — called “cherry-picking” and “lemon-dropping;”

STOP discriminating against people with certain costly diseases like HIV or hepatitis C, etc.;

About the Author

     In 1980 Dr Simone founded the Simone Healthy Start Prevention Program, the first of its kind (https://bit.ly/3WJdVw0) and (http://tinyurl.com/2p93pz2m).  Since 1980 he has worked with inner city churches to teach prevention, detection, and treatment. He is a consultant for heads of state of the US and other countries, celebrities, and advises many governments regarding health care. He testifies for the Senate and House on matters concerning health, cancer, disease prevention, children’s health programs, FDA reform, and alternative medicine. He appears on 60 MINUTES, Prime Time Live, Fox News Channel, NewsMaxTV, and others.

     Dr Simone coaches some world-class elite endurance athletes, such as Khalid Khannouchi (“Greatest marathoner ever” USA Today Nov 2008), some Gold Medal Olympians, and others.  He developed the patented Nutritional Hydration formula (Simone Super Energy (https://www.simonesuperenergy.com/) that was first used in desert warfare in 1990, worked closely with Special Operations Forces, and in December 2003 was presented with the Distinguished Speaker Award at the Special Operations Medical Conference in Tampa, FL.  Dr Simone is currently working to improve combat effectiveness using nutritional hydration for the Air Force Special Operations Command at Hurlburt Field, FL.

     All of his research in prevention, detection, and treatment culminate to his most compelling work that will positively change the healthcare system.  Recognizing a looming health care crisis, he submitted a simple method in 1993 that was finally patented.  Dr Simone’s method is imperative to follow.  Employees, no matter what duration of employment, pay an increased portion of health insurance premiums AND can voluntarily participate in the program that quantifies costs for controllable risk factors.  Employees can change that behavior or take personal responsibility for the increased cost attributable to the behavior by paying more for insurance.  America spends the most on health, ranks last among the top 19 nations, and has one of the highest infant mortality rates.  Without Simone’s initiative, we will witness the catastrophic collapse of the health system – then America as we know it (MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY  https://bit.ly/2u0l4OR).  

He has authored more than 76 peer-reviewed articles, more than 206 comprehensive Reports, and many books.

 

*A response from artificial intelligence GROK about Presidential Executive Orders

Yes, a Presidential Executive Order can sometimes counteract or attempt to modify the implementation of an Act of Congress, but there are several key points to consider:

1. Legal Authority: The President’s authority to issue executive orders stems from the Constitution, statutory delegations by Congress, or from the President’s inherent executive powers. However, these orders must align with existing laws unless the President is exercising a specific power granted by the Constitution or Congress.

2. Scope and Limits:

Implementation: Executive orders often deal with how laws are implemented. For instance, if Congress passes a law but leaves the specifics of its execution vague, the President might issue an order to fill in these details.

Conflict: If an executive order directly contradicts an Act of Congress, it might face legal challenges. The President does not have the power to repeal or nullify legislation passed by Congress; only Congress can repeal its own laws. However, an executive order might reinterpret or prioritize how a law is enforced or applied, which can in practice alter the impact of the law.

3. Legal Challenges: Courts might review executive orders if they are challenged. A significant legal principle here is that an executive order cannot override federal law. If an order goes beyond the President’s authority or contradicts existing statutes, courts can declare it unconstitutional or illegal.

4. Precedent and Presidential Powers: Historical examples exist where presidents have used executive orders to push the limits of their authority, sometimes leading to significant legal battles. For instance, during times of war or national emergency, presidents have claimed broader powers which can lead to orders that might seem to counteract congressional acts.

5. Congressional Response: Congress has mechanisms to counteract executive orders they disagree with. They can pass new legislation to clarify or override the executive order or use their budgetary authority to restrict funding for actions directed by the order.

6. Public and Political Reaction: The effectiveness or longevity of an executive order can also depend on public opinion, political support, or opposition, and the political climate at the time.

In summary, while a President can issue Executive Orders that might appear to counteract congressional acts, these orders must typically operate within the framework of existing laws or face legal scrutiny. If an executive order is perceived as overstepping, it might be challenged in court, or Congress might act to reaffirm or modify its legislation, or even to limit the President’s authority with new laws.
