Trump budget would cut health department by 21 percent
The Department of Health and Human Services would face an $18 billion cut under the budget proposal released by the Trump administration Monday, a 21 percent decrease from 2017.
Under the proposal, HHS would get $68.4 billion for the 2019 budget year.
Nearly every agency under HHS would see a funding cut. The exceptions would be the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Indian Health Service, which would all see modest increases.
"The president's budget makes investments and reforms that are vital to making our health and human services programs work for Americans and to sustaining them for future generations," HHS Secretary Alex Azar said in a statement.
The administration requested $10.9 billion for 2019 for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a cut of more than $1 billion.
