RFK Jr. was on the Hill, on Monday, working to persuade senators
he’s capable of running the Department of Health and Human
Services and its almost $2 trillion budget. Ever since the news his
lawyer has petitioned the federal government to revoke the approval
of a polio vaccine broke, that job has gotten a little harder — but
it doesn’t mean he won’t get confirmed. And so could a number of
other highly unorthodox candidates that Trump plans to nominate for
key positions in the HHS. Kara talks to an expert panel to make
sense of it all and find these nominations could means for
America’s public health policy. Her guests are: Dr. Zeke
Emanuel, Dr. Celine Gounder, and Donald McNeil Jr. Dr.
Emanuel has written and edited 15 books and over 300 scientific
articles. He was Chief of the Department of Bioethics at the
National Institutes of Health, one of the architects of the
Affordable Care Act and he teaches at the University of
Pennsylvania. Dr. Celine Gounder is an internist, infectious
disease specialist, and epidemiologist, a CBS News Medical
Contributor and Editor-at-Large for Public Health at KFF Health
News, and she teaches at New York University. Donald McNeil wrote
for the New York Times from 1976 to 2021, where he was a health and
science reporter and the lead reporter the COVID beat. He won the
prestigious John Chancellor Award in 2020 and was on the New York
Times team that won the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service in 2021.
