With the healthcare sector already facing challenges, the DOGE cuts have raised eyebrows, prompting discussions about the future of public health in the US, including healthcare reform and medical research funding. Key stakeholders are closely watching the situation, anxious about the potential consequences on healthcare policy and administration.
