nation's health department. the senate confirmed rfk's nomination for health and human services secretary this morning.he vote was close 52 to 48. republican senator mitch mcconnell, who survived polio as a child, voted against kennedy after raising concerns about his position on vaccines. rfk jr has been an outspoken critic of vaccines, but during his nomination hearing, he backtracked and said he supports vaccines, but refused to say that they do not cause autism, something we know that has since been debunked. so what does kennedy junior's new power mean for the future of our health care system in america? he is expected to make a lot of waves, and we want to get some answers now from susan poland, executive director of the american public health association. thanks so much for being here. >> thank you for having me. >> in broad strokes, can you paint the picture of what we expect public health to look like with rfk jr leading the department of health and human services? >> i think he has a very big learning curve. this is one of our biggest concerns when he was nominated and as he went through the

according to the substance abuse and mental health services administration, which conducts a nationaly on drug use and health, they have been tracking the addiction rate of two prescription, for example, pain pills, for example, since 2002. it has never been higher than 0.8%. they also track that for heroin and for other opioids. it is all less than 1%. i know you are not supposed to say that, because we had a lot of movies on hulu and netflix suggesting that is not true, but you can go to the website of the national substance abuse and find out for yourself. opioid use disorder is a broad term. addiction comes under that umbrella, and addiction is defined as compulsive use despite negative consequences. you see that with alcohol use disorder, gambling disorder. so in other words, even though you want to stop, it is an underlying compulsive behavior disorder that makes you continue to do it, and you know it is harming you. also under the umbrella of opioid use disorder, dependency, which is a completely different thing. opioids are a kind of drug that when you've taken them steadily f

take one of the most important positions in government to lead the health and human services department in charge of all of the nation's health agencies. this vote is still ongoing. it is expected, with mitch mcconnell's opposition to still get confirmed. rfk jr. is still expected to get confirmed, probably on a 5248 vote, with mcconnell being the lone senator breaking ranks. but no question about it, this is a very fascinating development in a career that has been one has led his party the longest serving leader in the history of the united states senate, of either party, took arrows for his party for years, worked with donald trump to get hit. many of his parts of his agenda through getting three supreme court nominees confirmed. but now, in this phase of his career, making clear he believes trump has gone too far in certain areas, he voted against pete hegseth to be the defense secretary nominee. and just yesterday, tulsi gabbard to be the next director of national intelligence. they both still got their post, despite mcconnell's opposition and here making clear he is a no on rfk jr. as well. we'll wait to see his s

unqualified cabinet nominees defense secretary pete hegseth, director of national intelligence tulsi gabbard, and health and human services robert f kennedy jr. more shocking than mcconnell's, no votes against them were where the yes votes came from. after expressing initial concern. senator joni ernst, a female combat veteran and sexual assault survivor, voted yes for hegseth, a man who has said women shouldn't serve in combat and has been accused of sexual assault himself. hegseth has denied the allegations. senator susan collins, a member of the senate intelligence committee for 12 years, voted yes for gabbard, even though gabbard has zero intelligence experience and senator bill cassidy, a doctor who worked in public hospitals in louisiana for 30 years and is a lifelong advocate for vaccines, voted yes for kennedy, a well known anti-vaxxer. you know, you've entered bizarro world when mitch mcconnell is the only one who did the right thing. but the sad political reality is this. cassidy, collins and ernst are all up for reelection next year. nothing like the threat of a primary challenger to soften the once firm republ

heard of the national institutes for health, an agency at the cutting edge of medical research, not just in this nation but around the world. or the substance abuse and mental health services administration, an agency that combats the real addiction and mental health crisis our country is facing. the lakewood community service corporation in lakewood, new jersey, received a $2.5 million grant to improve mental health care in one of our state's fastest growing services. cape may county council on alcoholism and drug abuse received a $300,000 grant to tackle substance abuse issues in south jersey. both important causes my colleagues from both sides of the aisle can agree to support. finally, the administration for children and families. whether you've heard of it or not, you or someone you know probably is touched by it. it's the second largest agency in hhs, and incorporates the agency that manages -- it's the agent sit that manages temporary assistance for needy families, head start, child care, foster care programs. i wanted to outline all of this because i want to -- you to understand the enormity of the task ahead of the next hhs secretary. this is not just someone who
