Joe Kennedy III has expressed "grave concerns" about the U.S. health system, leading to a split with his uncle, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
At the STAT Summit in Boston, Kennedy stated that despite having "great memories" of growing up with his uncle, he strongly disagrees with his uncle's leadership as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
For a family that’s grown up in public life, we all have our differences, as families will have. We have for generations done our best to keep those disagreements out of the spotlight.
Kennedy, a former Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, called on his uncle to resign last month due to these concerns.
