Dr. Casey Means, President Donald Trump’s surgeon general nominee, is in labor and her confirmation hearing, scheduled for Thursday morning at 11 a.m. ET, has been postponed, according to two people familiar and a HELP Committee spokesperson.

Means was expected to face stiff questioning from Democrats on the Senate’s health committee about her ties to a wellness company she co-founded and her promotion of supplements online and on podcasts, according to people familiar with their approach and a letter addressed to Means by a Democrat on the committee.

Means, a health entrepreneur who in 2018 left her residency program in Oregon just months before graduating because she was “disillusioned with the practice and incentives of surgical care,” promised in ethics filings to resign from the company, Levels Health, Inc., and to stop promoting wellness products while serving as surgeon general.

But Democrats on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), are likely to make those sources of income a focus of at her anticipated hearing.

1. The lengths people will go to avoid testifying under oath.

Probably been planning this for months.

4. Likely around nine months planning :) But these plans can lack precision unless you induce labor on a specific date.

CNN reports that Casey has gone into labor with her 1st child. Seems like a flimsy excuse. A late-term abortion could have opened up her schedule.

2. "Means, a health entrepreneur"

“Left her residency just months before graduating because she was disillusioned” “promised to stop promoting wellness products WHILE SERVING AS SURGEON GENERAL.” Got pregnant to avoid being questioned by democrats?? Run of the mill money making flim flammer for trump? Guesses weights at the county fair like Steve Martin in the jerk? Quit just months before graduating? Incredibly highly qualified trump appointee.

5. Did they found out he only plays one on TV or something...?

6. Confirmation Question

Yes.

But will the GOP senators who expressed concern about RFK Jr after the fact still vote for her?

RFK Jr is the one who endorsed her.

Her brother, Calley Means, is an ally of RFK Jr.

7. She seems more of a dietitian. Probably sells super-beets.

Ah those supplement pushers.

Pretty soon she'll be selling extended car warranties.
