U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. speaks with Armstrong Williams about his personal journey, current health challenges like the dangers of fentanyl, and the administration's achievements in healthcare, including holding insurance companies accountable, lowering prescription drug prices, and food safety standards.
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.The urgent onset of "the munchies" after cannabis use isn’t imaginary.A woman who was accused of strangling her three children to death and then trying to kill herself three years ago appeared in person inside a courtroom.Visitors hoping to get into Yosemite National Park amid a powerful winter storm are facing closures, hazardous road conditions and limited lodging options.A zoo in Japan assured the public that an adorable baby monkey named Punch-kun is OK after video went viral of him apparently being dragged by another monkey.
