President-elect Joe Biden on Tuesday nominated Pennsylvania health chief Dr. Rachel Levine to be assistant secretary at the Health and Human Services Department — and she would be the first openly transgender official to be confirmed for a position by the Senate.
A pediatrician and formerly Pennsylvania’s chief physician, Levine was appointed to the state’s top health position by Gov. Tom Wolf in 2017.
“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond,” Biden said in a statement.
“She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts.”
“President-elect Biden and I look forward to working with her to meet the unprecedented challenges facing Americans and rebuild our country in a way that lifts everyone up,” added Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
Levine has also been a professor of pediatrics and psychiatry at the Penn State University College of Medicine. She is a graduate of Harvard and the Tulane University School of Medicine.
Last month, Biden nominated California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to lead the Health and Human Services Department.

Pennsylvania health chief Dr. Rachel Levine, will bring steady leadership to the Biden Administration. She endorsed the Pennsylvania Governor putting, by executive order, covid positive patients in the nursing homes and of course Dr. Rachel, took her 95 year old mother out of the nursing home, she was in, when the covid positive patients were put in the nursing homes. Yep, Dr. Levine is a real gem. A medical doctor with absolutely no common sense. Boy, I would sure want Dr. Levine as my family doctor.
Nice laugh there… Thanks. It was needed
It has come to fruition. The inmates are now running the asylum. May G_d have mercy on us all.
HE would be glad to IF we returned to HIM. Check the scriptures my friends. Old Testament Prophets.
God has left the building, imo!
This appointment is just about Biden’s fastest speed…… What a laughable catastrophe.
This GUY would make a Freight Train take a dirt road.

MAY be the end? Where’ve you been the past year.
Romans 1:32
32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die,
they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Does this sound like the Democrat Party?
To fully advance the Dishonorable Democrat’s destructive agendas of socialism, open borders, gun control, radical feminism, abortion-on-demand, the LGBTQ lifestyle, unfettered sexual identity, “gay marriage” and the like, the pagan Liberal left Democrats must do away with our Constitution, GOD, common sense, morality, Christian values and free religious exercise altogether.
Under the guise of “anti-discrimination.”
That’s gotta be the ugliest broad I’ve ever seen, face is quite atrocious too. He/she/it should’ve stayed being a man.
Name me one commucrat broad, who ISN’T ugly as sin!
And the Leftist Freak Show begins.
I was going to call it a “dog and pony show,” but your characterization is more accurate.
This guy is as sick in his head as he is ugly! And that’s saying something!
Biden’s cabinet has been compared to a “Noah’s Ark” of humanity . This must be his last missing animal.
went from an ugly man to an even uglier Eunuch – lol at least he has long flowing hair to make up for his lack of… well, you know.
Oh goody! I feel so healthy now that PinnochiJoe has selected Carla Rove.
Just like i won’t take health advice from an overweight doctor, WHY THE HELL should anyone, ever take health advice from a mental asylum reject!
