SouthernWorldwide.com – President Donald Trump has announced his nomination of Chris Klomp to the position of deputy secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The announcement was made on Thursday, with Trump stating that the decision was made in collaboration with HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz, the Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
In a post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his honor in nominating Klomp, highlighting his rapid ascent within the administration as proof of his potential as a “STAR.” He described Klomp as a strong, inspiring leader and a highly successful entrepreneur who consistently earns trust.
Trump further emphasized Klomp’s principled nature and his deep commitment to serving the American people and addressing the nation’s healthcare system. He stated that Klomp is dedicated to fixing the “broken Healthcare System.”
Klomp’s current roles, as indicated on his LinkedIn profile, include Chief Counselor of HHS, Deputy Administrator of CMS, Director of the Center for Medicare at CMS, and Senior Advisor to the Secretary of HHS.
The President further elaborated on Klomp’s capabilities, noting that despite HHS being a large and complex organization, Klomp possesses the knowledge to manage it effectively. Trump pointed out Klomp’s excellent performance in leading Medicare and overseeing daily operations.
Trump also credited Klomp’s experience in building a significant business as having provided him with the toughness required to implement crucial reforms. Among these reforms mentioned is the “Historic MOST FAVORED NATION Drug Pricing Policy,” aimed at preventing other countries from benefiting unfairly at the expense of Americans.
He asserted that this policy has led to other nations paying their fair share and has resulted in a significant decrease in drug prices over the past year.
Trump concluded his statement by reiterating that Klomp “puts AMERICA FIRST” and will work to reform healthcare to “Make America Great and Healthy Again.” He offered his congratulations to Klomp.
