The Trump Administration has a web site, Policies for the People, which includes an active discussion board specifically on health care policies and nominees:
https://forum.policiesforpeople.com/c/health/5
"Health for the People
Policy solutions to empower each individual to live a healthy life, free from coercion, and consistent with their personal and community lifestyle. Heath Freedom empowers individuals with data and a diverse range of competing expert opinions that will replace mandates with truly informed consent."
It is presented in a forum format, quite similar to MHFF. This allows you to present your opinions and positions to a broad audience and obtain feedback from others interested in health care policy.
This has never been done before at the Federal level. Only a Nazi, fascist, bigot, homophobe like Trump would seek the opinions of average Americans on health care.... 😉
RFK, Jr. has unveiled a website specifically devoted to getting recommendations for health care nominations from the public:
Nominees For The People

It is in the same format as Policies for the People.

RFK Jr. crowdsources names for Trump appointees
The former environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine crusader wants to hear from you.
By Ellie Borst - November 11, 2024Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is working to crowdsource names for the more than 4,000 appointees under the second upcoming Trump administration.
Kennedy, a former environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine crusader, launched a website that asks the public to submit names of candidates who might be qualified for positions in environmental, energy, agriculture, labor policies and beyond.
So far, popular submissions for environmental and natural resource picks include former Nevada City, California, Mayor Reinette Senum and self-proclaimed forester Sterling Mantlow.
Senum in a post on social media website X celebrated her nomination as a "bid to address geoengineering at the highest level!"
After dropping his independent campaign for president in August, Kennedy joined Trump's campaign with a mission to "Make America Healthy Again," a play on Trump's slogan "Make America Great Again."
Kennedy's MAHA agenda includes ridding the nation's food, pharmaceuticals and the surrounding environment of toxic chemicals, as well as addressing corporate influence in agencies.
Exactly what role Kennedy would serve in the Trump administration is still yet to be determined.
Sources close to Kennedy say he is reviewing resumes for top officials in the Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration, according to Reuters.
On Monday, Trump picked Lee Zeldin to be EPA administrator.
Spokespeople for Kennedy or the Trump transition team did not immediately respond for comment.
Interesting that RFK Jr is recruiting for Energy, given President-elect Trump's statement that their deal included fixing healthcare, and "hands off the black gold."
