WASHINHON – In a comprehensive reform process, the US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services will remove 10,000 workers and close entire agencies, including those that oversee billions of dollars in funds for addiction services and community health centers throughout the country.
Health Minister Robert F. criticized. Kennedy Junior, the section that he supervises as an ineffective “sprawling bureaucracy” in a video declaring the restructuring on Thursday. The 82,000 workers were mistaken due to a decrease in the health of Americans.
“I want to promise you now that we will do more with less,” Kennedy said in the video, which was posted on social media.
Kennedy admitted that it will be a “painful period” for the best health agencies in the country, which is responsible for monitoring infectious diseases, examining foods and hospitals and supervising almost half of the country’s health insurance programs.
In general, the size of the administration will decrease to 62,000 jobs – the loss of 10,000 jobs through the demobilization of workers and 10,000 other workers who have early retirement and volunteer semester encouraged by the administration of President Donald Trump.
On Thursday, HHS presented a collapse of discounts in the Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, Medical Care Centers and Medical Services:
3,500 jobs in the FDA, which open and determine safety standards for medicines, medical devices and foods.
– 2400 jobs at the Center for Disease Control, which monitors the outbreak of infectious diseases and works with public health agencies worldwide.
– 1,200 jobs at the National Institutes of Health, the world’s leading public health research arm.
– 300 jobs in CMS, which oversees the market of care law at reasonable prices, medicare and medicaid.
In her statement, HHS said that she expects changes to provide $ 1.8 billion annually, but did not make a collapse or any other details about savings. The administration has an annual budget of $ 1.7 trillion, most of which are dedicated to financing Medicare and Medicaid programs used by the older Americans, the handicapped and the poor.
Besides their loss, Kennedy said that he would close entire agencies, some of which created decades ago.
Kennedy said that many agencies will be folded in a new management of America’s health.
These health administration and services, which supervise hundreds of community health centers throughout the country, in addition to the Department of Narcotics and Mental Health Services, which funded clinics and supervise the 988 National Hotline. Both skeletons pump billions of dollars to work on the ground in local communities.
The administration will be folded for the strategic preparation and response, established by a law signed by then President George W. Bush and responsible for maintaining the national stock that was rapidly depleted during the Covid-19 pandemic, at the Center for Disease Control.
