What happened
“Today, we’re announcing the members of our new Federal Healthcare Advisory Committee, which will develop recommendations for how Secretary Kennedy and I can improve Medicare, Medicaid” — the announcement, published by HHS on March 26, 2026, is made jointly by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, according to the upload’s description.
Why it matters
A standing federal advisory committee reporting to the Secretary and the CMS Administrator is a structural change in how HHS gathers outside advice on Medicare and Medicaid — its recommendations will shape both programs’ direction.
Scoreboard watch
The committee’s announced remit — recommendations to improve Medicare and Medicaid — is recorded here as stated, to be checked against the committee’s published recommendations.
