""The U.S. DOGE service is putting new curbs on billions of dollars in federal health-care grants, requiring government officials to manually review and approve previously routine payments...""
""Defend the Spend, is essentially a slow-motion riot in which efficiency is promoted by the agency not doing its work...""
The Trump administration is proposing significant cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), particularly impacting non-Medicare and non-Medicaid sectors. The newly formed U.S. DOGE service has implemented a program called "Defend the Spend," which imposes strict reviews of federal health-care grants, leading to delays and funding backlogs. This effort aims to align grant expenditures with Trumpâs policies but results in inefficiency and funding paralysis for numerous health-related organizations that serve low-income communities, affecting critical salaries and services.
