美国卫生部长罗伯特·肯尼迪二世宣布为美国预防服务工作组（USPSTF）任命8名新成员1。这一任命使该联邦工作组的规模扩大至16人1。美国预防服务工作组负责就预防医学服务（包括筛查、检查和用药）提供基于证据的建议1，其中获得A级和B级评级的服务由保险商要求免费覆盖1。
肯尼迪的这一举动引发了对该工作组独立性的关切。肯尼迪曾暂停该工作组的会议超过一年，并在5月解雇了两名领导1。批评者担忧他可能用意识形态盟友填充这个原本应保持非党派独立性的委员会1。
U.S. Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has named eight new members to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), expanding the federal panel to sixteen members.1 The task force is responsible for providing evidence-based recommendations on preventive medical services, including screenings, examinations, and medications.1 Services receiving A and B grade ratings from the group are required to be covered without cost by insurance providers.1
Kennedy's appointments come after a significant period of inactivity at the agency.1 The health secretary had suspended USPSTF meetings for over a year and dismissed two of the panel's leaders in May.1 These actions have raised concerns among observers that Kennedy may be attempting to fill the traditionally nonpartisan independent committee with ideological allies rather than qualified experts.1 The task force evaluates evidence using a grading framework ranging from A to D to formulate its recommendations.1
