Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made it his mission to "make America healthy again" Frida Ghitis: Kennedy and the Trump administration are at odds with that goal.

Ghitis says the spending bill signed by the White House is a "f

you" to the health of Americans .

She says it's hard to imagine a bigger “f

you” to Americans than the bill that was signed last week .

The Trump administration is trying to keep open two Michigan coal plants that are responsible for nearly half of the state’s greenhouse gas pollution.

One of the plants is responsible for more arsenic water pollution than any other power plant in the US .

In March , the administration canceled a pair of pandemic-era programs that allowed schools and food banks to purchase food from local farmers.

In Trump ’s first three months in office, the NIH awarded $1.6 billion less than it had during the same period the year prior.

The cuts have affected research on everything from Alzheimer's to cancer.

Trump wants to cut $18 billion from the NIH 's 2026 budget.

Kennedy has downplayed the severity of the measles outbreak, spread misinformation about the MMR vaccine, and pushed treatments like antibiotics.
