During its first 100 days, the Trump administration, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS secretary, eliminated more than 20,000 jobs and proposed major restructuring of the Department of Health and Human Services. Billion-dollar cuts to federally funded scientific research have raised concerns. Kennedy justified the changes as necessary to streamline public health, focusing on chronic disease and increasing transparency while aligning with the 'Make America Healthy Again' initiative. Critics argue these cuts jeopardize long-standing programs that prevent health issues, while HHS maintains that final decisions are yet to be made.
For too long, our health agencies have served the interests of powerful corporations rather than the American people. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are beginning to rip the veil off decades of deceit, restore scientific integrity, and reclaim our birthright: a healthy, thriving nation.
Kennedy, the HHS secretary, has stressed that the cuts and overhaul are necessary to refocus the federal government’s public health mission on addressing chronic disease and a lagging life expectancy rate.
