I want someone who understands how to get people to implement workflows that eliminate waste and how to implement programs to get doctors to wash their hands between patients. Someone who will decide things that should no longer be covered, stand up to unions and limit the inflation in health care costs to pop growth plus inflation.

None of those things have anything to do with weight.
I'm not missing the point at all. She could do just as good or better of a job as an Olympic athlete at that position. It's just the optics are bad like having an alcoholic being the director of MADD.
