Abstract
In a pattern resembling the discussions around other high-profile nominees for Cabinet posts in the Trump administration, trying to decipher how Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s comments about addiction and its treatment might translate to actual policy action remains daunting. Statements during Kennedy's Senate confirmation hearings on the week of Jan. 27 added to the uncertainty, given that some appeared to conflict with views he has expressed in the past.
