Thanks Phyllis, I completely understand where you are coming from, and I appreciate your thoughtful perspective. Leadership requires more than just bold idea. It demands execution, stability, and the ability to navigate complexities without causing more harm than good.

Like you, I hope to see these important health issues—corporate influence, chronic disease prevention, and public health transparency—gain more attention and action. I also recognize that leadership decisions carry serious consequences, and skepticism is not only valid but necessary.

It is a complicated moment. I respect your caution. Regardless of who is at the helm, the priority must be ensuring that real healthcare reform happens in a way that benefits everyone. I value these discussions and appreciate you engaging with them so thought.
