Op-Ed: What the Senate Needs to Hear From RFK Jr. and Dr. Oz
Read Gov. Kasich's latest op-ed with Dr. Brian Castrucci in U.S News & World Report:
Excerpt:
"As a public health expert and a Republican former member of Congress and governor, we believe that both Kennedy and Oz must now be held accountable for their past statements and claims about vaccines, weight loss, cancer and other health issues, which have often sparked controversy and distrust. Their hearings must separate fact from fiction, ensuring America’s health priorities stay grounded in evidence. It will also be an opportunity to address valid critiques of the health care system, while countering misinformation with evidence. Protecting the integrity of public health institutions is about more than evaluating a nominee; it’s about setting the course for a healthier America..."
"...Whatever the outcome of the confirmation hearings, our task is clear: reversing America’s declining health trends. The future of our economy, our communities and our global leadership depends on building a healthier nation. Healthier communities mean stronger economies, less strain on health care systems and a brighter future for all."
