Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. defended his department's policy agenda before a hearing on Capitol Hill, promising to work with Congress on specific health legislation. Kennedy highlighted early wins for the department, including providing $135 million in rural health care funding and identifying 130,000 of the 400,000 children lost during open-border immigration policy. He also pledged to expand funding and research for areas neglected by previous administrations. Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, questioned whether Medicare could cover breakthrough medical devices temporarily if they have already been approved as safe and effective by the Food and Drug Administration. Moore also highlighted delays in Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services coverage decisions that can leave seniors without access to life-saving technology already on the market.
