Despite many people voting for Trump because they felt he supported "the people", his Administration is barring the public from commenting on new HHS rules.

Our Analysis

Although RFK Jr., Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), promised radical transparency, he announced that HHS would no longer accept public input into a wide range of HHS rules and regulations.

HHS has accepted public input since 1971, and due to Trump's administration, the public will now no longer be able to provide their input, allowing Trump and RFK Jr. to escape accountability and act more like dictators over our healthcare and health systems.

What the "other side" did

President Biden's orders regularly asked for public input into health rule making.

The Obama Administration even reached across the aisle to "...[seek] input on ways the government can comply with religious employers' refusal on moral grounds to cover contraceptives for employees and at the same time make sure those employees get such coverage."
