Senator Marshall Pens Op-Ed in The Hill: RFK Jr. is the Health Revolution America Needs
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. penned an op-ed in The Hill highlighting how President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is the right man to lead the health revolution that America needs to become healthy again.

Highlights from Senator Marshall’s op-ed include:
“For decades, American health outcomes have declined as we continue to throw money at the problem. It’s safe to say that what we are doing is not working. Our healthcare system has devolved into “sick care” — treating the disease as opposed to preventing it.”
“I don’t agree with Kennedy on everything, but no one agrees with their colleagues 100 percent of the time. Even in my medical practice, doctors debated treatment decisions. That’s how science works — through questioning, reviewing and challenging available scientific studies and utilizing some common sense that comes with years of experience from medical practice.”
“Kennedy and I agree that we should always scrutinize medical interventions to ensure they are necessary, safe and effective. This means holding the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention accountable for studying the risks, benefits, efficacy and side effects of vaccines — just as we do for all other drugs. Parents and doctors should have clear, unbiased data to make informed decisions together.”
“Just as Trump was elected because Americans wanted a disruptor, I believe Kennedy is the disruptor our healthcare system needs. He will turn NIH, CDC, Medicare and Medicaid away from their disease-treatment mindset and toward prevention. This is not complicated. It’s common sense.”
