    Healthcare is likely the leading cause of death in the U.S. So it stands to reason the country might be better served with someone other than a doctor at the helm, someone who can wean Americans off healthcare at least to some extent.

    Maybe you're correct since the overwhelming majority of American who pass away are seen by doctors immediately prior to death.

    I had in mine the established third leading cause of death based on medical error, now add deaths due to standards of care. See: 2020.

    Pretty funny that Dems are losing it over RFK when these are the people he's replacing. RFK is a stallion for 70 years old. Do we really want some overweight, sickly looking tg to be making decisions at HHS?

    RFK Jr on abortion:


    "Kennedy has since said that abortion should be legal until a fetus "is viable outside the womb" and supports the codification of Roe v. Wade, which was replaced by the U.S. Supreme Court in the Dobbs decision."

    "If confirmed, RFK, Jr. would be the most pro-abortion Republican appointed secretary of HHS in modern history," Pence wrote."

    RFK Jr. nomination to HHS slammed by Mike Pence over abortion stance

    A presidential candidate for the Dems is now a potential in Trump’s administration. Honestly, that is not a bad thing. There are multiple lifelong Dems within the bubble.

    I am willing to give him a chance.

    1. He is for a better food supply. Alright, cool. What is there to be mad about? He wants to get forever chemicals out of our food. Great. Who stands to lose? Big Corps and Food Science. Yes, food security is not on his radar yet, but it will be. Is he capable of making a dent in the American fast food culture? Maybe.
    2. Yeah, he’s an anti-vax guy. You think in 4 yrs (or less) he will be able to turn the world upside down on vaccines? Nope. I am not as worried about this.

    He will be in charge of the health of those in the round-up (not the herbicide). So, buckle up for Tom Homan and RFK Jr to get ‘er done.
