"Sabotage": Experts, lawmakers blast RFK Jr. for destroying healthcare research
摘要
美国联邦卫生保健研究与质量局（AHRQ）正面临生存危机。专家警告，该机构因特朗普政府大幅削减75%员工、批量取消拨款并拒绝支出国会拨付的数千万美元资金而濒临崩溃。健康政策专家在《内科学年鉴》发文指出，该机构能否挺过本届政府任期仍是未知数。AHRQ自1990年代以来专注于改善患者安全、医疗质量与服务交付，过去两党曾共识医疗差距属于基本质量问题，但如今该议题已高
The federal agency tasked with studying ways to improve America's outstandingly poor healthcare system is "on the brink," experts warn. The Trump administration has cut its staff by 75 percent, canceled its grants en masse, and is refusing to spend tens of millions of dollars appropriated by Congress.
Whether the agency "will survive the second Trump administration is an open question," health policy experts Aaron Carroll and David Atkins wrote in an opinion piece published today in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The agency in question is the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), which has focused on ways to improve patient safety, healthcare quality, care delivery, and new technologies and practices since the 1990s. In the past, "Republican leaders recognized that health care disparities were fundamental quality problems," Carroll and Atkins wrote. But recently, disparities in care have become partisan issues.
