You’ve heard the phrase “Make America Great Again,” but have you heard of “MAHA?”

Short for “Make America Healthy Again,” MAHA is more than just a slogan, it’s a movement. 

Backed by parents nationwide, it’s also the name of a newly established commission created by an executive order from President Donald Trump.

Its mission? To uncover the root causes of America's worsening health crisis, starting with childhood chronic diseases.

“This groundbreaking commission will be charged with investigating what is causing the decades-long increase in chronic illness, reporting its findings, and delivering an action plan to the American people and it’s going to be a plan people are really waiting to hear,” said President Trump. 

In an immediate response, Department of Public Health and Social Services Spokesperson Camilo Fernan said, “While the E.O. might have far-reaching effects on government health operations at the territorial level, I can not guarantee a statement from us to you on your requested timeline. However, I am happy to bring your questions to all the right people in DPHSS and to answer them as quickly as we can.”

Meantime, the initiative comes amid a major shake-up in national health leadership–with newly confirmed U.S. Health And Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. chairing the commission.

“President  Trump has promised.  To restore the American dream in this country,  a healthy person has  1000 dreams.  A sick person only has 1.  60% of our population has only one dream.  And they get better.  President Trump has promised that he's going to restore America's strength.  But we can't be a strong nation if we have weak citizen rights.  If people are sick,  60% of our people are sick,” said Kennedy. 

Earlier this week, the senate confirmed Kennedy in a 52-48 vote. The only republican to oppose him? Senator Mitch McConnell, citing Kennedy's record on vaccines.

To note, RFK Jr. has been a controversial pick due to his past skepticism of vaccines, a topic he addressed during his second senate confirmation hearing in January.

“I am pro-vaccine. I am going to support the vaccine program. I want kids to be healthy, and I’m coming in here to get rid of the conflicts of interest in the agency and make sure that we have gold-standard evidence-based science. Show me a single statement I’ve made about science that is erroneous,” said Kennedy. 

The commission has 100 days to deliver a report assessing the childhood chronic disease crisis, including international comparisons and unanswered questions.

Meanwhile, as HHS Secretary, Kennedy will oversee key agencies such as the food and drug administration, the national institutes of health, and the centers for disease control and prevention, shaping the future of public health policy.
