Speechless
President Trump released a proposed budget that called for cutting the funding of the CDC by almost half. Its chronic disease center was slated for elimination entirely, a proposal that came as a shock to many state and city health officials.

Kennedy has warned of an epidemic of chronic disease, but the budget blueprint would close the C.D.C. center focused on prevention.
