Trump nominates RFK Jr. to remake healthcare.


Listen Later

This week President-elect Donald Trump announced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his nominee to run the Department of Health and Human Services.

The nomination comes after Trump promised to let Kennedy "go wild on health" during the campaign.

Kennedy holds a number of controversial opinions on health, and promotes a number of scientifically debunked claims like vaccines cause autism, fluoride is poisoning the public water system and AIDS isn't caused by the HIV virus.

Kennedy has long wanted to remake health and healthcare policy in the United States. Soon, he may get his chance.
