RFK Jr.’s HHS: Focusing On Fighitng Corporate’s Stranglehold on Food AND Fixing Medicare

After Robert F. Kennedy Jr. swapped his presidential dreams for a Trump-backed mission to clean up America’s health landscape, Big Food freaked out!

You see, he pledged to “Make America Healthy Again” and now Democrats are dubbing him a “danger” to public health.

With plans to tackle chronic disease, unseat corporate puppeteers, and detoxify food supplies, more liberal voters are starting to switch teams.

It was a plot twist the Establishment didn’t see coming.

BUT he’s not stopping there.

He’s got his eyes on removing the American Medical Association from dabbling in Medicare’s billing.

RFK Jr. is proposing eliminating the American Medical Association's role in Medicare's billing codes.

These billing codes are 60% of the AMA's revenue.

Eliminating their role in Medicare may effectively defund the AMA. pic.twitter.com/TyE7XtaNgg

ZeroHedge reports:

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has vowed to “make America healthy again” through his platform as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The possibility of that happening has drawn praise from many Republican lawmakers and vaccine and food safety advocates. Multiple Democratic legislators and public health officials have criticized President-Elect Donald Trump’s nomination, calling Kennedy a “danger” to public health.

Fighting chronic disease, improving children’s health, and addressing corporate influence on government agencies were vital parts of Kennedy’s campaign platform when he ran for president as a Democrat and then an independent.

Kennedy suspended his presidential campaign and backed Trump in August. He previously told The Epoch Times that it was a “heart-wrenching decision” and a necessary step toward achieving his mission of saving Americans from the chronic disease epidemic.

Under the “Make America Healthy Again” campaign, Kennedy aims to curtail what he calls the chronic disease epidemic by addressing the so-called “corporate capture” of federal health agencies and removing toxic chemicals from the nation’s food supply, among other objectives.

Trump’s naming Kennedy as his HHS secretary has drawn strong reactions.

Donna Shalala, who was HHS secretary under former President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 2001, said Kennedy is not qualified for the position.

“The nomination of RFK Jr. for HHS by President-elect Trump is shocking. … He is dangerous to the health and well being of every American,” Shalala wrote on X.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said on X that Kennedy would be the person to “detox the place after the Fauci era,” in reference to former NIH director Dr. Anthony Fauci. Kennedy and Paul have both been outspoken critics of Fauci’s policies related to vaccines and the public health response to COVID-19.

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), a medical doctor, recently told reporters that Kennedy has “championed issues like healthy foods and the need for greater transparency in our public health infrastructure.”

“I look forward to learning more about his other policy positions and how they will support a conservative, pro-American agenda,” Cassidy said.

Cassidy, the ranking member of the Senate Health Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, is expected to chair the committee in the next Congress.

Awaiting Senate Scrutiny

Kennedy must receive majority support from the Senate to gain confirmation and officially take the lead of HHS, which manages 13 separate agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Kennedy will face confirmation hearings with the Senate Finance Committee, which is scheduled to be led by Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho).

The full Senate will vote on his nomination if he is approved by that panel.

When the Senate convenes in January, Republicans will hold at least 52 seats compared to 48 by the Democrats. The number could increase to 53 if David McCormick defeats incumbent Bob Casey in Pennsylvania. That race is currently in the midst of a recount.

“RFK Jr is so dangerous!” That’s why Obama thought about picking him for his team back in 2008, right?

Oh, that was before they knew he was going to destroy their poisoned food empire.

He makes such a great point!

This next clip is pretty funny.

But the point is not that he’ll take our snacks, our Froot Loos, but that he’ll ensure that they’re made with healthier ingredients and that it doesn’t contain poison at “acceptable levels.”

And here’s a recap on what probably fuels RFK Jr to keep fighting the Establishment:

🔥To understand what happened to JFK, you NEED to hear it from RFK Jr.

If you watch ANYTHING at all about JFK today, this should be it.
