The Ford School's Sam Bagenstos commented on a recent initiative from President Trump to shut down a half dozen regional offices at the Department of Health and Human Services. Bagenstos told HuffPost “When hospitals go bankrupt, it’s the regional attorneys who protect patient safety and defend HHS’s financial interests.” He added, “Firing all these lawyers won’t promote efficiency... It will just cause needless harm.”
