RFK Jr. Defends Health Budget

RFK Jr. Defends Health Budget

During his testimony before the Senate Health and Finance committees, Kennedy was pressed on his controversial record regarding childhood immunizations and the recent decision to withhold data on COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness.

He defended the Trump administration's proposed budget, which shifts significant funding from public health research to defense spending.

Kennedy also faced sharp questioning from Senator Elizabeth Warren regarding mathematically impossible claims made by the President about drug price discounts.

Despite the intense scrutiny, Kennedy maintained that his 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda would ultimately lower costs and improve outcomes for families.
