the Charleston Gazette-Mail – President Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. If he is confirmed, it will put West Virginians’ health care and lives at risk.
It is critical that our leaders have the experience to effectively lead our nation’s health care system. RFK Jr. has none of it. He does not have the experience to run a coffee shop, let alone an organization that regulates 17% of the economy.

The consequences of this nomination will touch nearly every household in the nation. Not only does RFK Jr. have a long history of pushing dangerous and outlandish health-related conspiracy theories, but his inexperience puts vital programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, at risk. RFK Jr.’s sole focus will be pushing radical policies that put health care for millions at risk. The American people deserve a leader at HHS who believes in science and is committed to lowering costs and protecting health care coverage.
