    Started compiling a list, but it posted early, and I got lazy.

    List of them here, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secretary_of_Health_and_Human_Services

    Looking at the first handful, most aren’t medical professionals.

    You would still expect that they should be able leverage their resources to have a pre-built response to a question like that.

      Before that, Louis W. Sullivan in 1989

        Sorry how are you deciding who is qualified? Just being an M.D.? I agree that’s a good start, but MD does not a qualified HHS secretary make.
