Jindal made his reputation straightening out screwed up medical systems. Would be a great choice!

Wonder who he’ll pick as Press Secretary? He’ll need a pit bull.

I’d love to see Gov. Jindal in a Trump cabinet. He’s a true conservative.

Jindal is strongly pro-life and pro-family.

Jindal had his severe anti-Trump moments, but ended up being among the more civil of his primary opponents.

And certainly Jindal is more than qualified for the position.

An excerpt:

Which Republicans Are Against Donald Trump? A Cheat Sheet - The Atlantic, Nov. 6, 2016

Bobby Jindal: YEA

The former Louisiana governor, who during his own presidential campaign called Trump a “narcissist” and an “egomaniacal madman,” wrote in a Wall Street Journal column that he’s voting for Trump, “warts and all.” “I think electing Donald Trump would be the second-worst thing we could do this November, better only than electing Hillary Clinton to serve as the third term for the Obama administration’s radical policies,” he said. (May 9, 2016)

I’m excited to see who Trump chooses. How refreshing to know the Cabinet will be decent, pro-American people and not the sordid cabal of communists and criminals we’ve had for so long now.

In order to dismantle Obamacare and reinstate a true non-government, private health insurance industry; he will need to find an insurance professional with actuarial/reserve and risk CEO experience.

There were some fantastic ‘self-funded’ companies when I worked in the industry. The health plan premiums were based on small routine healthcare claims and reinsurance for catastrophic reserves. These companies were so successful they were bought out by the big guys: Blue Cross, Aetna etc.,

I’d like to see Carson at the VA Hospital. He may be able to help some of our guys with brain injuries.

If Dr. Carson would accept that post, I can think of no higher calling. We need someone to serve our vets as they have served us.

From Jindal’s Wikipedia page:

Out of curiosity I looked him up myself on wikipedia.Among other things he was admitted to Harvard Medical School which,in itself,is damn impressive (I worked for 20+ years at one of Harvard's main teaching hospitals).He certainly has a damn impressive CV as does Dr Ben Carson.Sounds like either one would do an excellent job at HHS.

I am terribly concerned about how this Zerocare fiasco is going to be unraveled. I was forced into this system in 2014 and hate it, but have pre-existing conditions. I had good insurance that I could afford before this stupid law gave them a loophole to drop me and throw me to the wolves. I know I’m in trouble.

I am sure there are a lot of names being bandied about at Trump HQ. That doesn’t mean they’re being seriously considered.

[ Wonder who he’ll pick as Press Secretary? He’ll need a pit bull. ]

I would love if he picked Alex Jones, if nothing else but to drive that guy Rachael Maddow crazy....

Actually Hannity would be a fine choice or maybe Milo, actually...

MILO.... He would drive the left CRAAZY, imagine if they tried to call Trump a homophobe at a press conf.... just because Milo standing there would destroy about 90% of the Media Narrative on Trump immediately....

but really, anyone from breitbart would make an awesome press guy.

Wow!!! Age 25!!!

In 1996, Jindal was appointed secretary of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals and in 1999, at age 28, he was appointed as the youngest president of the University of Louisiana System. In 2001, President George W. Bush appointed Jindal as principal adviser to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services.[3]
