Larry Kudlo: It will be President Trump who really runs HHS

All attention was on Robert F. Kennedy Junior today at the hearing before the Senate Finance Committee to become the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services.

He took people on the left and right Potchavat in Mr. Kennedy on the previous data Over the years.

One of the respected respected editorial pages attacked Mr. Kennedy on his views on climate change, and he argued that he prevented New York from digging oil and gas in his days as an environmental lawyer.

This may be true. But it has nothing to do with the duties and responsibilities of the Minister of Health and Humanitarian Services.

Here is the place where I brought RFK: I support him. Why? Because President Donald Trump wants him to run HHS.

Mr. Trump won the elections convincingly. He has the right to his candidates, except for any clear legal problems. Mr. Kennedy has repeatedly said he would implement President Trump’s policies at HHS.

This may be an ancient viewpoint, but this is the way the system is supposed to work.

Mr. Trump won the elections, not Mr. Kennedy. Trump Kennedy tells what he wants in HHS – and Kennedy is present to implement Trump’s vision.

The things he said for years have now retreated, such as autism and vaccines, unimportant. Because people are changing. And because he assured the president that he would implement the president’s policies.

One example appeared in the hearing today on the issue of Medicaid.

Medicaid has become more than 10 million people more than prior judgment. Total spending grew by 60 % to $ 963 billion – a greater amount of defense budget.

It is very likely that Mr. Trump will restore incentives to work for the able body, and this includes Medicaid-which is supposed to be a program for poverty for those who cannot work physically.

Mr. Kennedy dealt with his desire to reform and reduce Medicaid – according to President Trump’s policy – several times during the session.

“Our ship is sinking. An increase of 60 % in Medicaid over the past four years – it is the largest budget line, and it grows faster than anything else … We have the highest burden of chronic disease in any country in the world … This is an economic threat economically Our army, our health, is a sense of luxury, which is a priority for President Trump.

– Robert F. Kennedy, son

President Trump asked him – and if he was unable to confirm, this is exactly what he will do. This is how our cabinet system works.

By the way, RFK will have some smart people really in his team. Sabarni Chatterje, who will manage the national health institutes. and Marti Macari, who will manage the Federal Drug Administration. This will be of the highest degree degree that will help Mr. Kennedy.

Kennedy has also repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to be completely transparent HHS and a major provider of reliable health information.

By the way, if he can get hospitals and doctors to provide transparent prices for their services, this will be a great leap forward in health costs.

After that, finally, I admit that I love the fact that Mr. Kennedy is a democratic, or at least a former democratic, in the Republican Cabinet of President Trump. There is something about the presence of a file Kennedy serves under the leadership of President Trump This strikes my imagination.

However, at the end of the day, Mr. Trump won the elections a great time. He will enact his policies, using his appointed advisers and heads of agencies. If they do not understand that, they will go soon.

Get it? I got it.
