Two original members of the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) warn that HHS Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may eliminate the USPSTF entirely or delegitimize this independent body.[1] The Court's decision in Kennedy v. Braidwood allows the Secretary of HHS to remove all members of the USPSTF at his discretion.[1][2] The USPSTF consists of 16 physicians, nurses, and public health experts who volunteer to review research on conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and mental health.[2] Their A- or B-rated recommendations determine which preventive services, such as cancer screenings or HIV drugs, must be covered by insurance companies at no cost under the Affordable Care Act.[2] HHS has not yet agreed on how to adapt the USPSTF to the Make America Healthy Again mandate, and Secretary Kennedy recently postponed a meeting of the group on heart disease without explanation.[2] In June, Kennedy dismissed all 17 members of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and replaced them with eight new ones, including vaccine critics.[2]
