This is utterly dystopian: Leaders who have dedicated their careers to making our country healthy are being forced to resign or--get this--be reassigned to work on reservations for the Indian Health Service. This is beyond insulting, it is sick: using Native Americans as punishment
In emails that began arriving late Monday, senior leaders across the Department of Health and Human Services were put on administrative leave and offered reassignment to remote locations at the Indian Health Service as other employees began receiving layoff notices.
Massive layoffs, purge of leadership underway at U.S. health agencies
The move comes after Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement of a sweeping reduction of the Department of Health and Human Services.
