BREAKING NEWS: In a breaking development, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services just announced it is slashing 10,000 federal jobs in a sweeping restructuring led by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Trump administration’s battle against a bloated government continues as Kennedy centralizes operations, eliminates redundant departments, and promises to save American taxpayers $1.8 billion annually while delivering better healthcare services.
RFK Jr. announced a sweeping reorganization of the $1.7 trillion agency, continuing the Trump administration’s commitment to streamlining government and eliminating wasteful spending.
The cuts will affect 10,000 full-time positions across various departments, including 3,500 at the FDA, 2,400 at the CDC, 1,200 at the NIH, and 300 at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
These reductions come in addition to 10,000 employees who have already left HHS since President Trump took office, shrinking the workforce by about a quarter to 62,000 employees.
The reorganization includes closing five of the agency’s ten regional offices and consolidating 28 divisions into just 15 new ones.
Kennedy’s plan focuses on centralizing core functions such as external affairs, human resources, and IT services to eliminate the redundancy and bureaucratic red tape that has plagued the agency for decades.
The restructuring aims to realign the department with its primary mission while addressing the chronic disease epidemic that has cost American taxpayers trillions in healthcare expenses.
Kennedy’s initiative aligns perfectly with his “Make America Healthy Again” platform, which focuses on ending the chronic disease epidemic by promoting nutritious food over pharmaceutical drugs.
“We will eliminate an entire alphabet soup of departments, while preserving their core functions. This overhaul will improve the health of the entire nation — to Make America Healthy Again,” RFK Jr. said.
The overhaul creates a new subdivision called the Administration for a Healthy America, which will combine offices addressing addiction, mental health, and occupational safety.
Additionally, the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response will move under the CDC to improve coordination during health emergencies.
“We aren’t just reducing bureaucratic sprawl. We are realigning the organization with its core mission and our new priorities in reversing the chronic disease epidemic,” RFK stated.
Most importantly, for conservative Americans concerned about government waste, the cuts aim to save approximately $1.8 billion annually in taxpayer dollars while improving service quality.
HHS has assured the public that essential health services will not be affected despite the substantial reduction in the workforce.
Kennedy has repeatedly stressed that the overhaul is designed to make the department more efficient and responsive to Americans’ health needs rather than serving corporate interests.
This restructuring represents a dramatic shift from the previous administration’s approach, with Kennedy pledging to end what he calls “corporate corruption” at federal health agencies.
He has vowed to review the childhood vaccination schedule, a move applauded by many concerned parents who have questioned the safety and necessity of the current regimen.
Kennedy’s emphasis on safe food, clean water, and eliminating environmental toxins starkly contrasts the pharmaceutical-first approach that has dominated federal health policy for decades.
Critics have questioned the timing of the restructuring, which occurs amid a measles outbreak and bird flu spread. Still, supporters point out that the bloated bureaucracy failed to manage previous health crises.
Kennedy confidently stated, “This Department will do more – a lot more – at a lower cost to the taxpayer,” reaffirming the Trump administration’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and efficient government.
For Americans tired of seeing their tax dollars wasted on redundant government positions, Kennedy’s bold action represents a welcome change to business as usual in Washington.
