Surgeon General Nominee's Data Company Raises Conflict of Interest Concerns

Dr. Casey Means, nominee for Surgeon General, faces scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest. A recent video highlights her impressive credentials as a Stanford-trained physician, directly contradicting online rumors portraying her as a wellness influencer. However, the video also raises concerns about her involvement with Levels, a health data company. "Data is digital gold," states Anna Matson in a tweet, referencing the vast amount of private health information collected by Levels. This raises questions about the potential for misuse of this data, particularly given Means's position in government. The video concludes by questioning the current state of healthcare in the US, suggesting a need for a different approach.
