RFK Jr. Silent as Trump Administration Cuts Health Graduate Loan Programs

Kennedy Jr. for his silence as the Trump administration dismantles federal loan programs that have historically enabled Americans to pursue health careers.

Despite increasing health care worker shortages, Secretary Kennedy almost never talks about the health sector or its workforce.
