Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s candidate to direct the United States Department of Health and Human Services, has promised to resolve the “chronic health epidemic” of the United States and, in doing so, “make America return to be healthy. ” Part of this national health brightness It implies bringing new levels of transparency For the Federal Government, Kennedy has argued, which is ironic since, during his confirmation hearing this week, Kennedy made it as clear as mud what everyone should expect from his mandate in the most important health agency in the United States.
During Wednesday’s audience, Kennedy refused to answer basic questions about a variety of topics. Would you support the prohibitions of abortion medicines, such as Mifepristone? Did you think school shootings were caused by antidepressants? Would you support Medicaid cuts? Did you support the extension of established tax credits that have allowed access to low -income Americans to medical care? In all these issues, Kennedy preferred the equivocal to the final answers.
However, there was a question that Kennedy was able to answer with relative certainty: “Is health a human right?” Bernie Sanders asked the nominee, at one time. The answer was simple: No. The main candidate of HHS said that medical attention was not a human right in the same way that, for example, freedom of expression was a human right because, unlike freedom of expression, the Medical attention costs money and money, as we all know, it is the only thing that matters in the United States.
Kennedy also received a Sanders grill on a website associated with an organization that Kennedy founded previously, the children’s health defense, which sells anti-vax baby clothes. One of the problems at stake during Kennedy’s audience was if he would continue to win from his anti -cacation “activism” during and after his public service. Kennedy said that he had recently separated from the organization in preparation for his federal post. Sanders then changed tactics. “Are you supporting these oonsies?” Sanders spoke Kennedy hilarious, while the nervous nominee shot evasively. Sanders’ Digress of Mono added a very necessary lightness to the audience, which was a gloomy spectacle of political maneuvers.

While his critics see him as a crazy ideologist, Kennedy’s supporters see it largely as a brave subversive dedicated to fighting the monitored forces governing food and medical care industries. However, I present that Kennedy is not really any of these things. Instead, I think he is just another hungry twit of power with an inclination for the romo that wants to hold a position and is willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve that goal.
In fact, there is currently no evidence that Trump plans to do anything to “make the United Provered promise. For example, one of the areas of the food industry for which RFK has often defended the concern for seed oils, which Kennedy has affirmed They are harmful to the health of Americans. Trump recently chose Kailee Weaver Buller Be the chief of cabinet of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Buller’s previous position was as president and CEO of the National Association of Oilseed Processors (NOPA). This is consistent with Trump’s first administration when he hired Buller and other lobbyists from the Syrup Industries of Syrup and Corn Syrup to write the dietary guidelines of the Americans and the fundamental food agencies of the Americans. Trump too Famous likes snacksSo it is not clear why someone would think it would be hard with the companies responsible for developing them.
In general, Kennedy has revealed that it is a fault full of shit, which will betray each and every one of its beliefs more frequently proposed only to have the opportunity to assume the people of power. In fact, he somehow managed to spend more than a decade by pressing on behalf of the environmental movement, only to turn and support a political leader who has openly declared that wants to gut the EPA, politicize disaster relief fundsand Open public lands for drilling and development. Since he was offered first place in the Trump administration, he also has significantly retreated in his vaccine skepticismAnd reigned at its most serious points of conversation, in an apparent effort to skate through its current confirmation process and allow a transition without problems.
However, what became evident at Kennedy’s audience is not just that man is willing to compromise most of his beliefs for access to power. It became clear that he is more than willing to act as a substitute for true policy formulators in the Trump administration: the libertarian right backed by the billionaire who wants to crush the federal bureaucracy, dismantle public welfare programs and return all the money and power for the private sector. Kennedy openly criticized the health programs administered by the Government as Medicaid and the Law of Low Price Health Care and seemed to imply that these programs should be ruled out for purely market -based approaches for health services.
Kennedy too Medicare advantage with ProxenetaA partially privatized version of Medicare that has been widely criticized for being more difficult to use and provide less coverage. “We need to listen to what people prefer to be,” Kennedy said, which is fun since there has been a Public anger spill Against Medicare’s advantage plans, which have been characterized by patients such as shit and trapped.
Even so, all this is the line of the people who helped Trump be elected and who are currently occupied by writing their policies. The 2025 project plan for HHS establishes a desire to Push Americans to Medicare Advantage plans Which, says the nation, would be “a blessing for private insurance companies, since it essentially privatizes the very popular public program.” The project has also suggested that instituting the work requirements for Medicaid recipients, suggests that the abolition of the Head Start program would be aggressively after access to abortion and, in general, would work to undermine the role of the public sector in the administration of the administration of the health.
