Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a speech at The City Club of Cleveland, promising to promote his signature “Make America Healthy Again” policies. Many of these policies were met with resistance, with some members of the audience expressing disappointment. Kennedy highlighted the country's current "chronic disease epidemic," describing it as the "sickest country in the world" and the reforming of dietary guidelines as one of his biggest achievements. He also highlighted efforts to remove unhealthy foods from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The event was moderated by former Republican Rep. Brad Wenstrup, now executive director of Americans for Health Excellence. Other topics covered were rising drug costs, the Trump administration's rural healthcare policies, and the ongoing opioid epidemic.
