Kennedy Jr. promoted a $1.1 billion IHS budget increase and made medically inaccurate claims that cutting processed foods can 'cure' Type 2 diabetes, while remaining silent on devastating Medicaid cuts and the rollback of critical childhood vaccination efforts in Native American communities. It is a profound and alarming dereliction of duty to peddle pseudoscience and obscure devastating healthcare cuts with empty promises, betraying the very communities entrusted to his care.
