The Trump administration's Doge program, led by Elon Musk, seeks access to sensitive health agency systems as part of a broader push for governmental efficiency. Amidst significant layoffs affecting thousands across health agencies, crucial staff and resources are being cut despite ongoing public health threats like bird flu. Critics warn that the initiative could severely undermine the healthcare system's ability to respond to infectious disease outbreaks, as functional capabilities of these agencies are restricted, potentially leading to greater harm and inefficiency.
The upheaval at health agencies is dire, with sensitive data access under scrutiny as the Trump-created program, Doge, aims to enhance federal government efficiency.
As the healthcare system faces significant challenges, the layoffs and access requests from Doge threaten the nation's ability to respond to public health crises.
