The Economist: RFK junior is half right about American health care
Donald Trump's health care plan, "Make America Healthy Again," faces criticism due to his proposed appointments. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic, as health secretary, and Mehmet Oz, known for unconventional medical views, leading Medicare, raise concerns about public health management.
