Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services.If the Senate approves Kennedy’s nomination, it will be the harbinger of the largest rethinking of the US health care system in history. The MOH and its agencies oversee drug approvals, food safety and disease surveillance, as well as the Medicare and Medicaid systems, Politico writes.
Descended from one of America’s most famous Democratic families, Kennedy and his Make America Healthy Again movement [Make America Healthy Again – МАНА] blame America’s ill health in part on a corrupt alliance between the food and drug industries and the regulators who oversee them. They want to replace bureaucrats and overhaul control systems for pesticides, food additives and vaccines.
Kennedy said he would like to see “whole divisions” of the Food and Drug Administration eliminated, especially those that regulate nutrition. The agency’s work includes developing dietary guidelines, overseeing labeling and food safety, and fighting diet-related ailments such as obesity and cardiovascular disease. Make America Healthy Again Jeff Hutt said:
“When we talk about making America healthy, we really need to talk about corporate capture and how big corporations have taken over our government agencies.”
One of the movement’s main goals is to conduct alternative research and organize political support to pave the way for politicians independent of big industry, it said.
Kennedy has said he wants to overhaul US food production by ridding it of pesticides and genetically modified crops – key raw materials for American farmers – that he says are making Americans sick.
MAHA’s opponents, lobbyists representing big food companies and cash crops, are secretly meeting with key lawmakers to prevent Kennedy from being nominated as health secretary, said one agricultural lobbyist with knowledge of the meetings.
