RFK Jr Fires 2 Leaders of Major US Health Task Force

Summary: U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just fired two top leaders of a major health task force. Why does this matter? This is the group that decides which preventive care—like mammograms, colonoscopies, and depression screenings—insurance companies must cover for free.

The fired doctors were told their appointments were "premature." But public health experts are worried. They fear the government is playing politics with our health care. Recently, the administration even blocked a recommendation for at-home cervical cancer tests. Experts warn that this political interference could change what free medical screenings Americans can get in the future.
