BATON ROUGE—As Americans face a chronic disease epidemic, the US Senate is debating the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., President Trump’s nominee for Secretary of HHS. The Louisiana Freedom Caucus sent a letter today urging Senator Cassidy’s support.
“America is in a health crisis and Louisiana is ranked as the least healthy state. We are gravely concerned! Our maternal and fetal health outcomes are the worst in the nation,” said Beryl Amedee, Freedom Caucus Chair. She added, “The majority of our state health budget is spent treating conditions that are completely preventable.”
The letter referenced data indicating that more than 43% of children in this country suffer from chronic disease. It also mentioned Americans’ loss of trust in public health and listed some of Kennedy’s practical solutions to reverse the health crisis and restore that trust, including freeing federal regulatory agencies from corporate influence and returning to evidence-based science.
“Kennedy has come to Louisiana and testified in Committee. He is clearly concerned about our health—especially the health of our children. And he has the right ideas to turn this crisis around! It is our hope that the Senate confirms Kennedy for HHS Secretary,” Amedee said.

If you're truly concerned about the health of Louisianians this really isn't the way to show it.
