Kennedy, a frequent critic of the healthcare system and vaccines, was sworn in as the 26th secretary of Health and Human Services in January. Soon after that, he launched his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative.

The longtime environmental lawyer ran an independent presidential campaign before dropping out of the race. The Department of Health and Human Services is in the midst of an overhaul that includes downsizing the department and reducing the number of regional offices.

The agency’s focus is on “ending America’s epidemic of chronic illness by focusing on safe, wholesome food, clean water, and the elimination of environmental toxins.”

The Senate confirmed Oz as CMS administrator on April 3, putting him in charge of programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

The former heart surgeon and TV host has wholeheartedly endorsed Kennedy’s platform.
