Today’s episode will address several questions: 

(1) What is the MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) movement? We will get some insights from a recent MAHA Action press-conference and get a sense of the death and suffering that may come from MAHA policies. We will resume where we left off in Episode 1, but this episode is self-sufficient if you don’t want to go back. 

(2) What is the MAHA Commission? What are the influences from Project 2025 in it? What is Project 2025 anyway? As we will discuss, Project 2025 is the latest edition of a decades-long conservative strategy spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank. But – they are not the only influence – there is also America First Policy Institute. And how does Kennedy’s MAHA  fit into all of this? Were these conservative think tanks looking for Kennedy to be the secretary of HHS? Or were they as surprised as the rest of us? 

(3) And what if this MAHA commission, and Kennedy’s MAHA agenda overall, does not end well – for patients, for science, and for the conservative movement in particular.

Today we will hear some of these answers from my recent conversation with Ed Fuelner, the Founder and CEO of the Heritage Foundation from 1979 to 2013.
