Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the agency's 28 divisions will be cut to 15.
The article discusses Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s plan to cut 10,000 jobs from various health agencies if elected president. This includes significant reductions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Kennedy's proposal aims to streamline these agencies, which he believes have become bloated and inefficient, potentially saving taxpayer money and reducing what he perceives as unnecessary bureaucratic layers. Critics argue that these cuts could undermine public health efforts, particularly in areas like vaccine safety, drug regulation, and healthcare access for the underprivileged. The plan has sparked a debate on the balance between government efficiency and the necessity of robust public health infrastructure.
