RFK Jr.'s Controversial Plan to Make America Healthy Again

Since taking office, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has implemented radical changes to US health policy, sparking concern among public health experts. His administration has slashed budgets and staff, replaced vaccine advisory board members with skeptics, and largely ignored leading causes of death such as car accidents, drug overdoses, and gun violence. While acknowledging the high rates of chronic disease in the US, Kennedy's approach has been criticized for promoting misinformation and overlooking other significant factors contributing to lower life expectancy, including obesity, lack of universal healthcare, and social issues. This article analyzes the multifaceted causes of America's health crisis and challenges the effectiveness of some of Kennedy's proposed solutions.
