Dr. Casey Means, President Donald Trump’s surgeon general nominee, is in labor and her confirmation hearing, scheduled for Thursday morning at 11 a.m. ET, has been postponed, according to two people familiar and a HELP Committee spokesperson.
Means was expected to face stiff questioning from Democrats on the Senate’s health committee about her ties to a wellness company she co-founded and her promotion of supplements online and on podcasts, according to people familiar with their approach and a letter addressed to Means by a Democrat on the committee.
Means, a health entrepreneur who in 2018 left her residency program in Oregon just months before graduating because she was “disillusioned with the practice and incentives of surgical care,” promised in ethics filings to resign from the company, Levels Health, Inc., and to stop promoting wellness products while serving as surgeon general.
But Democrats on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP), are likely to make those sources of income a focus of at her anticipated hearing.
