RFK Jr. to Address Congress on Rising Healthcare Costs
Democrats plan to grill Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the Trump administration's role in surging medical expenses during Congressional hearings.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the controversial Health Secretary appointed by President Trump, will testify before Congress for the first time this year as Democrats seek to place blame for rising healthcare costs. In a highly anticipated hearing, Kennedy Jr. will be grilled by Democratic lawmakers who allege the Trump administration's policies have contributed to the financial burden on American families.
The session marks a shift in the political dynamics around healthcare, with the administration now on the defensive after previously going on the offensive against the Affordable Care Act. Democrats have seized on the issue of escalating medical expenses, which polls show is a top concern for many voters heading into the 2020 elections.
