Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is right-- the U.S. is flunking health care.
Our country spends nearly twice as much on medical care per person than other wealthy countries but our outcomes – measured by life expectancy, infant mortality, unmanaged diabetes and heart attack mortality -- are far worse. This is an industry that begs to be disrupted.
Whether Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom President-elect Trump has nominated to run the Department of Health and Human Services, is the man for the job remains to be seen.
