Leaked internal budget documents reveal that the Trump administration is planning substantial cuts to health funding, including a proposed 30 percent reduction to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and a $40 billion cut from the health department budget. The draft budget indicates significant funding slashes to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as well, which may face a $20 billion reduction and potential consolidation by 2026. These drastic cuts threaten critical public health services and have raised concerns about the future of healthcare programs, including the elimination of initiatives like Head Start. Reports suggest that these cuts could jeopardize the health and well-being of Americans, leaving them vulnerable to preventable diseases and premature death.
