Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) declared Tuesday that the only experience President Joe Biden’s Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee, Xavier Becerra, has with “health care is that he sued the Little Sisters of the Poor” as a “trial lawyer.”
Cruz insisted Becerra is an example of an “extreme nominee,” noting “the Biden Administration likes to talk about their science based [politics], and their priority of stopping COVID.”
“Well, Becerra has no background in virology; he never worked at a pharmaceutical company, and his only health care experience is that he sued the Little Sisters of the Poor,” Cruz pointed out.
The Little Sisters of the Poor is a Catholic religious institute for women, which won in 2020 won a victory in a years-long battle to assert their First Amendment right to religious freedom against the contraceptive mandate in Obamacare, which Becerra fought to uphold.
Becerra also faced criticized from 11 Republican Senators for a “lack of healthcare experience,” in a letter they wrote to Biden:
We write to express our grave concerns regarding the nomination of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to serve as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. Mr. Becerra’s lack of healthcare experience, enthusiasm for replacing private health insurance with government-run Medicare-for-all, and embrace of radical policies on immigration, abortion, and religious liberty, render him unfit for any position of public trust, and especially for HHS Secretary.
They also emphasized Becerra’s advocacy for single-payer health care would eliminate 160 million Americans’ private health insurance:
“We ask that you put our country over radical partisan objectives by withdrawing Mr. Becerra’s nomination for HHS Secretary,” the Republicans concluded in their letter to Biden.

Thanks
About as much “health care experience” as Alison Beam, the new PA Secretary of Health.*
*replacement for Dr. (Dickless) Richard aka “Rachel” Levine nominated by Sloe Joe for a Federal position.
At least Beam’s parts are genuine OEM.
Becerra also went after David Delaiden for exposing the baby body chop shops.
Has Xavier Becerra’s wife ever been a member of the Council on Foreign Relations?
Been to Cancun?
During a Tejas Polar Vortex?
Xavier Becerra? I can’t think of any position that I’d put this guy in charge of. But there he is, nominee for HHS boss. This is really some bizarro chet.
How funny....how many nursing home patients died when Ted Cruz went to Cancun?
He’ll be appointed anyway, it’s meaningless grandstanding to make pithy statements about him. Suddenly republican Senators are tough guys who want to fight now that it’s all just symbolic because they can’t stop anything. When they had an actual chance to do the things they promised for decades they actively refused and were mad as hell at Trump and us for putting them in that position. Don’t fall for their pretend posturing, they don’t mean anything they say. And I include Cruz and Rand Paul in that.
