Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the head of the department’s Health and Human Services, announced on Thursday that the Trump administration was eliminating about 10,000 positions. The Trump administration’s efforts to reorganize HHS and” Create America Healthy Again” are included in the job cuts.
HHS stated in a press release on Thursday that the department’s reform will help achieve “multiple goals without compromising essential services.” The most recent job breaks, according to the press release, may preserve U.S. citizens about$ 1.8 billion annually.
According to HHS,” When combined with HHS’ other initiatives, including earlier retirement and Fork in the Road, the reform results in a full shrinking from 82, 000 to 62, 000 full-time people.”
In a video explaining the upcoming changes to HHS, Kennedy explained that despite the Biden-Harris administration’s budget increasing by roughly 38 % and the department’s staffing increasing by about 17 %, the “rate of chronic disease and cancer increased dramatically.”
The HHS minister continued,” We have the highest rate of severe disease in the world and the nastiest nation in the world.”
Although the majority of the department’s personnel are “dedicated and capable legal servants,” Kennedy said in the press release on Thursday that bureaucracies like HHS have a tendency to “become wasteful and inefficient.”
” This reform will be a win-win situation for taxpayers and the HHS employees,” Kennedy declared. That’s the whole United population, because our goal is to restore health in America.
Trump concerns significant executive orders in the fields of healthcare .
Kennedy argued that the HHS job cuts and restructuring process will not only help the agency concentrate on its” core mission” of assisting with the” chronic disease epidemic” in the United States. He continued,” This Department will do more – a lot more – at a lower cost to the tax.”
Kennedy claimed that the Trump presidency intends to combine different HHS agencies and companies as part of the restructuring process.
In a press release on Thursday, HHS plans to divide up 28 divisions into 15 unified units and reduce “redundant units.” Additionally, the office intends to close five of its ten local offices.
In a video released on Thursday, Kennedy stated that the streamlining of HHS is “part of a move to new priorities, particularly ending the chronic disease epidemic, with fresh water, healthy food, effective medicine, great science, extreme transparency, and a health environment.”
Kenned continued,” I think most Americans would concur with me that adding more money to healthcare won’t solve the problem, or it would have already solved it.” The department’s “overhaul” will improve the health of the “entire nation” and” Make America Healthy Again,” according to the HHS secretary.
