Robert F. Kennedy Jr. putting on quite the performance during his first confirmation hearing to become the Secretary of Health and Human Services calling out issues he says need to be addressed immediately to solve the public health crisis here in the U.S.
"Americans don't, by and large don't, do not like the Affordable Care Act. People who are on it. They don't like Medicaid. They like Medicare. And they like private insurance. We need to listen to what people they would prefer to be on private insurance. Most Americans, if they can afford to be, will be on private insurance. Uh, we need to figure out ways to improve care, particularly for elderly, for veterans, for the poor in this country, and Medicaid, the current model is not doing that. I would ask, you know, any of the Democrats who were chuckling just now. Do you think all that money, the $900 billion that we're sending to Medicaid every year has made Americans healthy? Do we think it's working for anybody? Are the premiums low enough?" (applause) .... "We do need to move on."
