Healthcare Politics and Accountability

Not surprisingly, it has been primarily Democratic Senators asking tough questions of Robert Kennedy Jr. during his confirmation hearings to become Secretary of Health and Human Services under Trump. What may be surprising, however, is how poorly this questioning is going for the Senators, including Senator Lujan of New Mexico, who apparently didn’t understand that the HHS director has no control over Medicaid spending levels, and Nevada’s Senator Cortez Musto, who was lectured by RFK about the epidemic of childhood illness in this country.

Jimmy breaks down some of the Dem Senators’ more glaring failures during the RFK Jr. confirmation hearing.

Plus additional segments on Liz Warren’s full-throated defense of the pharmaceutical industry in her attacks on Kennedy and a Bill Gates-backed petition full of phony names purported to belong to accredited physicians attacking the RFK nomination.
