Denier-in-Chief: The Threat of Trump and RFK, Jr’s Health Policy

Third party candidate, Robert Kennedy, Jr., played an out-sized role in the 2024 presidential election. Trump said Kennedy would have “a big role in health care” if he were re-elected. And on November 14th, Trump announced RFK, Jr. would be nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.More than 75 Nobel laureates have urged the US Senate to deny Kennedy, because they feel he would “put the public’s health in jeopardy.” If confirmed, how could Kennedy disrupt policy at HHS?  This week, Ray speaks with Stanford’s Keith Humphreys about what RFK’s nomination means. Guest:Keith Humphreys, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford UniversityHost:  Ray SuarezIf you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to Commonwealth Club World Affairs.
