We have "SICK" care, not HEALTHcare. Preventing illness is possible, not profitable. I would rather put myself out of business and I would be so happy if nobody needed me anymore. I want to start by preventing another giant increase in depression and anxiety. How can you live healthy if you are too depressed to get out of bed? My book on this topic will be coming soon.

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
