The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced a significant overhaul, resulting in the layoff of 10,000 employees and the closure of several regional offices. This restructuring, led by RFK Jr., aims to reduce the workforce by nearly 25% and consolidate various health agencies, sparking widespread concern about its potential impact on health services across the country. Critics, including Rep. DeGette and healthcare officials, have called the cuts shocking and warned they could cost lives, particularly in vulnerable states like Oregon and Michigan. Supporters of the cuts argue that they are necessary for efficiency and focus on serving people rather than bureaucracy.
