RFK Jr. Defends Health Budget
In his first congressional appearance of the year, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced intense scrutiny over a proposed 12% cut to his department's budget.
Kennedy emphasized a shift toward chronic disease prevention and food safety, while largely avoiding his controversial past remarks on vaccines.
Democrats seized on the rise of measles outbreaks in states like Utah and Minnesota to challenge the administration's public health priorities.
The hearings also touched on the secretary's plans to reform panels that determine insurance coverage for preventive screenings.
