Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, released a statement following the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. by the U.S. Senate as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
"Americans deserve a health care system that empowers them to be healthy and prioritizes better outcomes," said Chairman Guthrie. He highlighted issues such as rising obesity rates, chronic diseases, an ongoing drug epidemic, and financially strained programs as areas needing attention. "We must embrace commonsense approaches to address the root causes of increasing costs, curb the flow of illicit substances flowing into our communities, and foster cutting-edge innovation," he added.
Chairman Guthrie expressed his congratulations to Secretary Kennedy on his confirmation and stated his intention to collaborate with him to enhance the health and wellbeing of Americans.
