HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faced heated questioning from House Democrats during a series of budget hearings this week in Washington. He defended a proposed more than 12% cut to the Department of Health and Human Services budget and said he would reform dietary guidelines and root out waste and fraud. Kennedy is set for seven hearings across committees this week as he also navigates staffing gaps at the CDC and the surgeon general's office during ongoing measles outbreaks.
