Massive Layoffs Ahead: Trump Administration to Slash 20,000 Federal Health Jobs
The Trump administration is set to reduce the federal health workforce by 20,000 employees, with significant cuts to key agencies. Health and Human Services Secretary will oversee the elimination of 3,500 jobs at the Food and Drug Administration and 2,400 positions at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, impacting public health services and healthcare policy. This major restructuring is expected to have far-reaching consequences for healthcare reform and medical research, with potential effects on disease control and food safety regulations. The move aims to streamline government operations, but critics argue it may compromise critical health programs and services, including those related to health insurance and healthcare management.
