EXCLUSIVE: Three Republicans of the Senate support the Secretary of Health and Social Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The “independent” working group is used to determine the recommendations of health insurance services in the United States to cover for free, such as cancer verification.

“Americans deserve to know that health guidelines are based on real science, and not radical relaxation. The working group must resume its mission to give clear recommendations and based on evidence that people can have confidence,” said senator Jim Banks, R-Indiana, in a statement.

The Wall Street Journal have reported that Kennedy plans to withdraw the members of the board of directors, and the senators say that they support any change to move away from certain Dei tactics employed by the group currently, including the 2023 report in the high priority proof gaps for clinical preventive services and “social justice activism” by group inhabitants.

“In particular, the USPSTF has moved away from its appropriate activities in its framework of health equity in December 2023. The critical framework” equal access to quality health care for all “as an inadequate objective of public health and announces that the working group will rather use equity as” a criterion of the importance of public health “of a subject” to consideration “,” the letter added.

“Far from simply recognizing the disparities in terms of health between certain populations, the equity of health ” as described by the USPSTF includes ‘` information on the risk factors that meet with the race and / or the ethnic origin or other disadvantaged populations (for example, sexual and gender minorities) and which affect the prevalence and the charge of diseases’ and The way the preventive services are provided, access or received ”.

More specifically, they have declared that changes could be necessary to carry out the executive decree of President Donald Trump to eliminate the efforts of the DEI within the federal government, as well as an EO on “the restoration of the opportunities based on merit” and “the end of illegal discrimination”.

“Allowing the working group to continue the health capital framework by allowing it to go beyond its legal mission and to target social groups that behave with a progressive program. This means to repress universally beneficial as inadequate recommendations. The USPSTF should also work for all Americans,” added the letter.

“No final decision was made on how the USPSTF can better support HHS’s mandate to make America again healthy,” a spokesperson for HHS to Fox News Digital in a statement when it was questioned about the WSJ report.

“The USPSTF plays a critical and non -partisan role in the guiding of doctors’ efforts to prevent diseases and improve patient health by helping to ensure access to clinical prevention services based on evidence,” Ama wrote in a letter to Kennedy. “As such, we urge you to keep the previously named members of the USPSTF and get involved in the long -standing process of regular meetings to ensure that their important work can continue without interruption.”
