YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHealth and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced sweeping cuts to the department he leads, the latest step by the Trump administration to dramatically shrink the size of the US government’s workforce and responsibilities.
Kennedy plans to cut 10,000 employees, according to a statement Thursday. Combined with other departures from buyouts, the reductions mean the agency will employ 62,000 workers, down from 82,000. The secretary also intends to consolidate the department’s 28 divisions into 15 and cut regional offices from 10 to five.
HHS says the changes will cut annual government costs by $1.8 billion.
