Meanwhile, health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made the rounds on Capitol Hill to testify about the president\u2019s budget request, though the topics lawmakers wanted to discuss ran the gamut. Anna Edney of Bloomberg News, Emmarie Huetteman of KFF Health News, and Joanne Kenen of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Politico Magazine join KFF Health News\u2019 Mary Agnes Carey to discuss these stories and more. Also this week, KFF Health News\u2019 Julie Rovner interviews Michelle Canero, an immigration attorney, about how Trump\u2019s policies affect the medical workforce."}
