Arrr, mateys! Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. be throwin’ caution to the wind, tossin’ the ol’ “Richardson Waiver” overboard! Now he can change the laws of the land like a true scallywag, no notice to ye landlubbers! Hoist the sails for Medicaid and ye National Institutes of Whatnot!
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend an ear to the tale of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the fearless Secretary of Health and Human Services! Just this past Friday, he did a bold thing, like a swashbucklin’ captain cuttin’ loose the sails in a tempest! He cast aside the ancient rule known as the "Richardson Waiver," a relic from the days of yore, when the winds of transparency blew strong and fair.This here waiver, named after the old sea dog who penned it in 1971, had a bevy of rules that kept the scallywags in check, makin’ sure they couldn't change the course of Medicaid and the National Institutes of Health without lettin’ the good folk know first. But now, ol’ Kennedy has hoisted the black flag, givin’ himself the power to change policies as whimsically as a sailor chooses his rum—without a peep to the public!
Arrr, the seas be turbulent, and while some may cheer his newfound might, others be scratchin' their heads in worry, ponderin’ what mischief he might brew. So, keep yer spyglasses sharp, mateys, for the waters ahead be murky, and we be needin’ to watch our treasure closely!
