Robert F Kennedy Jr. has been praised for calling out medical and pharmaceutical companies who profit from people’s chronic illnesses, like obesity and diabetes.
In an unearthed interview with Dr Phil, RFK Jr. slammed pharma giants for ‘making money from keeping us sick’ and promoting dependency on weight-loss drugs at a colossal cost to the US taxpayer – instead of encouraging people to make healthy lifestyle choices.
He linked his complaint to proposed legislation to make weight-loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy available to around a million obese Americans.
Under the Biden-era policy, seniors enrolled in Medicare and low-income people enrolled in Medicaid would gain access to weight-control drugs for free.
RFK Jr. said he would rather provide people with organic food three times a day than hemorrhage trillions of dollars giving every obese American the expensive shots.
The Republican, who Donald Trump has nominated as his secretary for the US Department of Health, instead said that ‘diabetes is treatable with food, with exercise.’
RFK Jr’s Dr Phil interview was recorded last summer, before he was nominated by Trump. The TV host re-shared the clip this week, prompting an outpouring of support for RFK Jr. and his ‘no-nonsense’ approach to health and well-being.
Many viewers also expressed their excitement for the next four years if Trump does manage to place Kennedy Jr. at the helm of the Department of Health.
