    RFK has found a home in the Trump administration. He has been appointed as Secretary of Health and Human Services, pending Senate confirmation. The Department of Health and Human Services oversees 11 agencies including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

    Nominations to the office of Secretary of HHS are referred to the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and the United States Senate Committee on Finance, which has jurisdiction over Medicare and Medicaid, before confirmation is considered by the full United States Senate.

    They sure did ! I was looking at that graph and wishing I could post it here, @John Brunner . Also, there is a chart showing the budget for each of the departments, and the HHS is at the very top of the list with way more budget money than any other department, even our defense budget.
    I remember reading that Biden had stolen some of the medicare money, which was going to make the cost of medicare go up (but it would not show until after the election), and I see that SS has two budgets, a large one that says off-budget, and then a smaller one that is on budget.

    I imagine that. Lot of that HHS budget has been going for all of the services for the illegals, food, housing, debit cards to buy other stuff. Once most of the non-productive illegals are gone, Kennedy will have a great budget to help the American people and work on our health care.
