For the 2nd time in a row, #HHS secretary RFK, Jr., has postponed a meeting of the #USPSTF which preventive health services—such as #PrEP—must be covered by insurers. An HHS spokesperson cited the government shutdown as the cause, blaming Democrats.

#HPV self-collection is comparably accurate compared to clinician testing for #CervicalCancer screening—now FDA-approved and supported by #USPSTF draft guidelines. A game-changer for access and adherence. #EBM #WomensHealth #HPV #CancerPrevention @EricJNolanMD

The 2024 USPSTF recommends screening postmenopausal women under 65 at increased fracture risk, based on clinical assessment. Use central DXA (hip or spine). Estrogen loss accelerates bone loss.

The #USPSTF, which is under fire from the HHS secretary, lowered the age at which it recommended colorectal cancer screening to 45 from 50 in 2021, because more cases of advanced cancer were being seen in younger adults. New studies suggest the new policy is working. www.statnews.com/2025/08/04/c...

AKF is deeply concerned by reports that plans may be underway to dismiss members of the #USPSTF, which is charged with making critical recommendations on disease prevention. Read our statement here: www.kidneyfund.org/article/stat...

Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) are the folks you take your kids to for checkups, you go see for a rash that won’t go away, the women and men who watch out for us against everyday ills.
Without the #CDC or #NIH or #USPSTF to look to for expertise, they’re in untenable situations.

If you are reading this caption or watching this video, you know someone who has benefitted from the screening recommendations of the US Preventative Services Task Force. #USPSTF
#RFKJr firing all 16 folks without any plan is irresponsible and will threaten many lives, just like everything he does.

First reported by the Wall Street Journal, there’s growing concern that #HHS secretary RFK, Jr. is going to fire the #USPSTF, which decides which preventive health services—including PrEP—must be covered by insurance. Conservatives believe the board is “woke.”

What this could mean for you:
If the #USPSTF abandons its preventive screening recommendations, insurers are likely to stop covering things like mammograms, pap smears, and colonoscopies.
The Affordable Care Act, Obamacare, mandated that preventive care be covered with no copay. That will go away.

There are still a lot of dire implications of the end of the #USPSTF, even if insurance still covers them, people may not know that they need them. There is no trusted source now for doctors to turn to.

Just like with the ACIP, this is exactly what I feared. As I told reporters recently: disrupting this process threatens access to essential preventive care. It’s part of a broader pattern of interference in public health that puts people’s health, at risk.

In an #OpEd, past chairs of #USPSTF Carol M. Mangione, MD, MSPH, Karina W. Davidson, PhD, MASc, and Douglas K. Owens, MD, MS explain why the cancellation of the task force’s July meeting raises alarm.

#USPSTF members were told that their July 10 meeting was “postponed.” Public health and #HIV prevention advocates are worried; this comes less than 2 weeks after the Supreme Court ruled that RFK Jr. had the authority to appoint—and remove—task force members.
