Kennedy makes shocking revelation about federal health bureaucracy
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. released a video on X that quickly went viral, reaching 1.7 million views as Americans were stunned by his revelations about the bloated federal health bureaucracy.
We are streamlining HHS to make our agency more efficient and more effective. We will eliminate an entire alphabet soup of departments, while preserving their core functions by merging them into a new organization called the Administration for a Healthy America or AHA.

Kennedy didn’t mince words about the shocking state of affairs he discovered after taking over the department.
“Over the past four years during the Biden administration, HHS’s budget increased by 38 percent and its staffing increased by 17 percent, but all that money has failed to improve the health of Americans,” Kennedy revealed.
The Health Secretary painted a devastating picture of America’s health crisis.
“In fact, the rate of chronic disease and cancer increased dramatically as our department has grown. Our lifespan has dropped, so Americans now live six years shorter than Europeans. We are the sickest nation in the world and we have the highest rate of chronic disease,” Kennedy explained.
Kennedy exposes rampant government waste
What Kennedy found inside HHS was nothing short of a bureaucratic nightmare that would make any fiscal conservative’s blood boil.
“HHS is a sprawling bureaucracy that encompasses literally hundreds of departments, committees, and other offices,” Kennedy said. “You know how bureaucracies work. Every time a new issue arises, they tack on another committee. This leads to tremendous waste and worse of all, a loss of any unified sense of mission.”
The waste Kennedy uncovered was staggering.
“HHS has more than a hundred communications offices and more than 40 IT departments and dozens of procurement offices and nine HR departments,” Kennedy revealed. “In many cases, they don’t even talk to each other. They’re mainly operating in silos. Sometimes these sub-agencies work at cross purposes with each other.”
Even more alarming, Kennedy discovered that “over half of our employees don’t even come to work.”
Kennedy uncovers shocking corruption within health agencies
The corruption within these agencies went beyond mere bureaucratic inefficiency. Kennedy exposed how some divisions have become captured by industry interests.
“Some of these little fiefdoms, for example, are so insulated and territorial that they actually hoard our patient medical data and sell it for profit to each other,” Kennedy stated.
He added that “a few isolated divisions are neglecting public health altogether and seem only accountable to the industries that they’re supposed to be regulating.”
The situation became even more concerning when Kennedy revealed that “defiant bureaucrats impeded the Secretary’s office from accessing the closely guarded databases that might reveal the dangers of certain drugs and medical interventions.”
Kennedy announces major overhaul of federal health agencies
After laying out the problems, Kennedy delivered the bombshell announcement that has Washington, D.C. insiders in a panic.
“As part of President Trump’s DOGE workforce reduction initiative, we’re going to streamline HHS to make our agency more efficient and more effective,” Kennedy declared.
The overhaul is massive in scope as Kennedy explained, “We’re going to eliminate an entire alphabet soup of departments and agencies while preserving their core functions by merging them into a new organization called the Administration for a Healthy America, or AHA.”
The reforms will include:
- Consolidating 28 divisions into 15
- Reducing the workforce from 82,000 to 62,000 employees
- Saving taxpayers nearly $2 billion annually
Kennedy emphasized that these cuts would primarily target administrative bloat while protecting frontline workers.
“We’re keenly focused on paring away excess administrators while increasing the number of scientists and frontline health providers so that we can do a better job for the American people,” Kennedy explained.
Kennedy makes America’s health the top priority
Kennedy made it clear that improving health outcomes for Americans was his primary mission.
“I want every HHS employee to wake up every morning asking themselves, what can I do to restore American health today?” Kennedy said.
He concluded his announcement with a bold vision for the department and the country: “Streamlining HHS is part of a shift to new priorities, especially ending the chronic disease epidemic with clean water, safe food, effective medicine, good science, radical transparency, and a healthy environment.”
Kennedy’s reforms aim to fulfill President Trump’s campaign promise to “Make America Healthy Again” by tackling the root causes of America’s health crisis rather than simply throwing more money at a broken system.
