- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. traveled to California to advocate for changes to how the federal government approaches addiction treatment
- Kennedy criticized the prior administration's handling of addiction treatment — the newsletter's headline frames the remarks as a slam at Becerra
- The California trip came the day after the White House pushed a separate effort to change how Americans receive vaccines
- STAT reporter Chelsea Cirruzzo accompanied Kennedy in California to cover his remarks on addiction treatment policy
Why it matters: Kennedy is pairing a public rebuke of the Biden-era health team with his own policy push, using back-to-back appearances on addiction treatment and vaccines to reframe federal health priorities as a clean break from his predecessors' approach.
