66% Informative
Robert Kennedy's Senate hearing to review his nomination to head Health and Human Services ( HHS ) is set to begin next Wednesday .
Marcotte : Trump is not waiting for his candidate to get confirmed before launching a full-scale war on public health.
He says Kennedy 's priority was never going to be "healthy food," but making sure infectious diseases could spread more easily at home and abroad.
Trump has already imposed a large number of restrictions on the National Institutes of Health .
Kennedy 's vague words about healthy eating might sound good on paper, but in practice, he's setting up a pretext to deny healthcare access to lower-income people.
Trump also signed an executive order this week to terminate President Joe Biden's successful efforts to lower the prices of many common pharmaceutical drugs.
