RFK's Health Agenda May Clash With Trump's Cuts
Reuters via Newsmax ^ | 02/14/2025 | Unknown

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the new U.S. health secretary, has promised to address an epidemic of chronic illness with President Donald Trump's backing, but his broad agenda from making food healthier to studying vaccines may clash with government spending cuts.

Trump on Thursday ordered the creation of a 'Make America Healthy Again' Commission made up of Kennedy and other secretaries to look at everything from the high rates of autism and asthma in children to how much medicine is being prescribed to them for ADHD or other conditions. He also asked for health insurance coverage expansion and a report in 100 days.

Kennedy, a 71-year-old environmental lawyer, has espoused those views and more, saying the government should open up its data, conduct new scientific studies on vaccines and tackle gaps in rural healthcare with AI and telemedicine. He has plans to go after food additives, an area regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, one of about a dozen agencies within the $3 trillion U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

I think that RFK will justify the employees he wants to keep and dump the ones that aren't necessary, mostly in administration, which is almost always bloated and wasteful.

Reuters is just a fancy way of saying “no credibility”.

More bullshit from Reuters in an attempt to drive a wedge between Trump and his supporters.

What a breath of fresh air!

I have been following RFK Jr. for years, and it's good to see we are finally addressing many of the concerns he has expressed.

You may not like his or his family's basic politics or his penchant for playing around with the ladies, but sometimes, you've got to take the bad to get the good. That's RFK Jr.

Rooter’s wet dream.

I would bet that Health will cost much less than Viral Research and Surgical Training on Chimpanzees.

As long as he doesn’t talk in public. His voice is painful to listen to

Exactly. Redirect the funds spent on studying the effects of shrimp on a treadmill.

Agree. His brain still works pretty well, though :-).

So don’t listen to him if you don’t like the sound of his voice.

Just don’t muzzle someone because you’re personally offended by something about him.

Double re-correction community note: It was to study the effects of a treadmill on a trans shrimp, as I doubt a shrimp will have much effect on a treadmill other than gumming up the gears.

LOL. Reuter's commies are so transparent. Trying to sow discord. They are so pathetic and laughable.
