Mass Firings Continue Across Nation’s Health Agencies

“The Trump administration carried out more mass firings across the Health and Human Services Department this weekend, continuing a chaotic purge of the federal workforce that career officials and lawmakers warned would hurt key programs and impair efforts to track threats to public health,” Politico reports.

“The cuts hit staffers at the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services… The administration also terminated some staff at the office responsible for emergency preparedness and response.”
