RFK Jr. plans to axe all members of panel that advises on cancer screenings, preventive health services

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to oust all 16 members of a task force that recommends which preventive health services, such as cancer screenings, must be covered by insurance, according to a source familiar with the plans.

Kennedy views the group -- the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) -- as too “woke,” the source told.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the secretary’s plans.

HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said in a statement that “no final decision has been made on how USPSTF can better support HHS’ mandate to Make America Healthy Again.”

A scheduled meeting of the task force was abruptly canceled earlier this month, with no reason given.
