I don't think I can really truly answer that because I don't have a crystal ball. But I will say that I think that there are things that are going to be hitting people where they live that affect their quality of life in really profound and direct ways. You could have a lot of really angry people.

Whose hospitals just shut down because Medicaid was cut or who got really sick because their veggies were contaminated and they didn't find out in time. It seems like there is the potential that that could really backfire in terms of actually achieving what they say their goals are to make America healthy again.

He says they'll do that by consolidating administrative work like IT and human resources, but that the restructuring won't affect the work the agencies do. Kennedy draws a direct line between the problems with America's overall health and the way HHS has been set up.

My inbox was flooded with shocked responses yesterday from Democratic lawmakers, nurses groups, public health groups, advocates for seniors. They say this isn't an overhaul, it's a wrecking ball. I asked former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for her reaction. She was incredulous that Kennedy thinks he can cut HHS staff so steeply and not affect services.

It looks like the steepest cuts are coming from CDC and FDA, also a lesser known agency called the Administration for Community Living, which helps seniors and people with disabilities live independently. They do work like meal delivery, transportation support for caregivers.
