'If You Can Keep It': The Federal Health Firings
The nation's health administration is the latest target of the Trump administration's effort to dismantle the federal bureaucracy. That's after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. slashed 10,000 jobs at the Department of Health and Human Services early last week.
Entire offices were eliminated during the layoffs. Some of those positions, Kennedy says, will need to be reinstated. Experts warn that these sweeping job cuts at the HHS will affect drug approvals, disease tracking, and vital biomedical research.
We continue our series "If You Can Keep It" with a look at what these actions mean for our public health - and the health of U.S. democracy.
We discuss the latest on the dismantling of the HHS and how staff cuts at the department might change the way the U.S. delivers health services.
