Public health experts are pressuring Biden to include health expertise in his cabinet
Prominent public health experts are pressuring President-elect Biden and his team to include a doctor or experienced health professional in the cabinet — and growing increasingly alarmed this week that their warnings will go unheeded.
Several former state and local health officials, leaders of public health advocacy groups, and representatives from physician groups have placed calls to contacts advising Biden, drafted formal correspondence to the transition, or, in the case of numerous physician groups, worked to draft open letters stressing the necessity for Biden to appoint high-ranking officials with medical expertise.
