Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently initiated layoffs of approximately 10,000 employees from the Health and Human Services department, which he argues is necessary to refocus the agency on its core mission of addressing chronic diseases. However, critics note that these cuts seem indiscriminate, targeting essential personnel at the CDC and FDA, which directly handle issues such as tobacco regulation and chronic disease monitoring. This chaotic approach raises questions about how Kennedy plans to effectively reduce chronic disease rates in America, undermining his own stated priorities.
Kennedy's indiscriminate layoffs of 10,000 HHS employees undermine his goals of reducing chronic disease and improving federal health bureaucracy.
Despite claims of realigning HHS, the layoffs in critical agencies like the CDC reveal a chaotic approach that threatens Kennedy's own stated priorities.
