Ranking Member of the Oversight Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services, Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi, has strongly condemned the Trump Administration’s sweeping cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Rep. Krishnamoorthi urged “every American who values these essential services to join me in demanding the immediate reversal of these harmful actions. I will not stop fighting until these critical programs are restored and the well-being of Illinoisans and all Americans is prioritized.”
He emphasized that the administration’s decision to gut HHS is not just irresponsible – it’s dangerous. By eliminating 10,000 workers, shutting down critical Head Start offices in cities like Chicago, and slashing funding for agencies responsible for food, drug, and tobacco safety, Donald Trump is putting the health and well-being of countless Illinois families at risk.
“Seniors will suffer from understaffed care programs, families will face rising childcare costs, and we will all lose our ability to fight disease with life-saving medical breakthroughs thanks to devastating research cuts,” he added. “In short: the Trump Administration will make millions across the country less safe with a single misguided move.”
