US EditionDraft budget would slash HHS funding by a third: Reports
- The Trump administration's budget proposal aims to cut federal health spending by about one-third, reducing the Department of Health and Human Services budget from approximately $121 billion to $80 billion, according to a document obtained by The Washington Post.
- The proposed plan includes significant cuts to the National Institutes of Health's budget, reducing it by more than 40% and consolidating its research institutes from 27 to 8.
- Health programs, including those focusing on child health and chronic diseases, would be eliminated under the proposed plan, which critics warn could threaten critical health initiatives and services across the United States.
- The proposal is currently set to be reviewed by Congress, and it remains unclear which cuts could be approved, given the history of previous rejections of similar budget cuts during Donald Trump's first term.
