RFK Jr Confirmation Hearing this Wednesday in the Senate Finance Committee
The nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is extremely concerning given his history of basing his opinions and policy priorities on hunches rather than evidence. As the department that oversees CMS (Medicare & Medicaid), CDC, HRSA, NIH, FDA HHS requires leadership with relevant experience and the proven ability to trust and follow evidence & science. Mr. Kennedy does not.
Mr. Kennedy will be in front of the Senate Finance Committee this Wednesday and on the floor of the Senate later in the week. I’ve already contacted Senator Kelly and Gallego’s offices urging them to vote No on Kennedy’s confirmation this week – and you can do so too by using the APHA’s Action Center to let the Senators know how you feel.
