Robert F. Kennedy Jr. struggles to answer questions on Medicare and Medicaid at confirmation hearing – The Boston Globe

“There is no wide proposal to dismantle the program,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy also claimed that Medicade was completely paid by the federal government. it's not. State and Federal Taxpayers provide funds to it. He also said that most Americans had purchased a Medicare Advantage Plan.

His falsehood in this program repeatedly that most Americans like private insurance during the suggestion that he is trying to promote the privatization of the program, and he hates the government to execute the program version. I said.

Kennedy has led a 1.7 trillion dollar Ministry of Health and Welfare, which supervises not only food inspections, hospital monitoring, and funding for hospitals, but also vaccine recommendations.

On Wednesday, Kennedy denied that he was an anti -vaccine. However, Kennedy pointed out that his children had been vaccinated and acknowledged that he had “unpleasant questions” about vaccination.

“I believe vaccines play an important role in healthcare,” Kennedy told the Senate Finance Committee.

During the first hour of the hearing, the Republican members did not ask Kennedy about the vaccine view.

However, the Democratic Party has returned home, and Senator Ron Widen in Oregon claims that Kennedy had previously had a “safe” vaccine and had been between him and Kennedy. I pointed out. Widen also quoted from Kennedy's book. This is said by parents that the measles vaccine is “misunderstood.”

“You've been pushing a story about vaccines for years,” said Widen.

For many years, Kennedy has cleared his beliefs about vaccines in the posts of dozens of interviews, podcasts, and social media.

He led a non -profit organization that appealed to the government for vaccine approval. He says that there is no safe and effective vaccine, and despite the decades of research and the use of the real world that proves that it has safely prevented illness, everyday vaccination during the childhood. We repeated further research.

Republican members were narrowed down to questions about agriculture, food and during pregnancy.

Kennedy tried to guarantee that he wanted to provide more information to the Senator that he would not be able to provide a wide range of vaccines and food.

“I don't want to take food from anyone,” he said.

Kennedy is one of the most famous politicians in the country, the son of the late Robert F. Kennedy and the son of NE of President John F. Kennedy. He first challenged President Joe Biden to the 2024 Democratic President. After that, he ran as an independent, but in exchange for the promise of a health policy between the second Trump administration, he signed a contract to support the Republican member's Trump. I abandoned.

Trump chose Kennedy in November, and shortly after winning the presidential election, Kennedy said, “End the trend of chronic diseases,” and “make the United States great and healthy.” As one of the world's most famous anti -Waksin activists, Kennedy's nomination immediately surprised public health.
