RFK Jr. Fires Two Leaders of Major US Health Task Force

Summary: U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently fired two top leaders from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Why does this matter to you? This is the group that decides which preventive health checks—like mammograms, colonoscopies, and cervical cancer screenings—must be covered for free by your health insurance.

Medical experts are worried that politics are starting to get in the way of science. They fear these sudden firings could put our free cancer screenings and important health guidelines at risk in the future.
