U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. says he would be dead right now if it wasn’t for his moral base and his faith. He said that to Armstrong Williams on the Armstrong Williams show.
“Addiction is so today is much more dangerous now then when I was active in it, especially with the Fentanyl,” Kennedy said to Armstrong Williams.
Kennedy talked about all kinds of topics, like the White House renovations and very personal things, like family and addiction.
But he also talked about his actual job and the things he believes he’s accomplished while he’s been Secretary of HHS so far.
He says they’ve held health insurance companies accountable and forced big pharma to lower prices of prescription drugs.
“We’ve got all the insurance companies in to agree to. That was kind of prior authorizations. We’re doing price transparency, which every president has promised. And and it’s been able to achieve where every hospital now and every provider will be required to post their the prices beforehand. How much does it cost to have a baby? If you’re a woman, you go nine months and you will not be able to answer that question because the hospital won’t tell you,” Kennedy told Williams.
Kennedy says the progress the administration to eliminate dies and other synthetic materials from food has been groundbreaking as well, but common sense will always prevail.
“We’re, or changing the standards so that they don’t include the dies. By the way, we’re not going to get rid of processed, ultra processed food. You’re an American. We’re not a nanny state. If people want a drink, a soda pop, or if they want to eat a donut, they’re going to be able to do that,” Kennedy said.
