Volcano Man is leading candidate for HHS Secretary.
I’m pretty sure he hates Obamacare and appreciates the cost saving potential of “pre-existing confitions” {{ LOL }}

Hmmm Kennedy, Jindal…Kennedy, Jindal. I just can’t make up my mind who would be better.
Jindal graduated from Brown and studied health policy as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He ran the Louisiana State Health & Hospital System (which is like 75% of the State’s budget – all Medicaid money) at the age of 24 when I lived in Baton Rouge. He certainly has the detailed knowledge to implement what he wants. Just doesn’t know squat about volcanos.

But he isn’t white. Neither is Rasawami (or however it’s spelled) Nominating either would bring howls of “DEI hire”.
Kennedy would not streamline public health, he would gut it, freeing more money for carefully targeted tax cuts.

Nah. It would be howls of “Bushite” (the former R party).

“W”, with his assertions of “unitary executive” and “inherent powers”, and surveillance of US citizens, without a warrant, was a lot closer to the current crop, than the “former R party”.

Also served 2 terms as Louisiana governor. My biggest gripe was that he would come in an make changes and then be long gone before the repercussion of those changes came to be. But that is typical of almost all politicians.

Same with a lot of CEOs these days. Welch and McNerney both gutted out their companies to enrich themselves, then retired and moved on, before their schemes blew up.
