Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has committed to addressing America's health issues, emphasizing a goal to end the chronic disease epidemic. Recently, he supported a Senate bill altering Medicaid that could lead to nearly 12 million people losing health insurance by 2034. The bill mandates work requirements for enrollees and introduces barriers to access. While the administration claims these measures will help reduce fraud and direct resources to the neediest, health experts warn that such changes will harm the healthcare system and exacerbate health problems for vulnerable populations.
Kennedy told senators during his confirmation hearing in January that he has prayed for 20 years to be positioned to end the chronic-disease epidemic.
The Senate passed Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which includes provisions that would change Medicaid and could kick nearly 12 million people off health insurance by 2034.
The White House claims that tightening Medicaid access will root out fraud and save funds for the neediest Americans, a message echoed by Kennedy.
The American Hospital Association warns that slashing Medicaid could lead to irreparable harm to the healthcare system and adversely affect Americans' health.
