Is the Department of Health and Human Services doing their job?
Asked by doblue91
I am doing research for a school assignment on the Department of Health and Human Services and need some feedback. How do you feel about the department? They state that the following: "the Department of Health and Human Services is the United States government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services, especially for those who are least able to help themselves." Do you feel like they are justifying their purpose or do you feel like they are not. I would just like to know your feedback on anything concerning this department and how you feel about it...thanks!

It's a joke, like every other government agency. It needs revamping. Disorganized. This comes from my previous experience in dealing with them. Just call them, when you talk to someone on the phone you will see why. The Dept of Health and Human Services has NEVER helped me, the government denies me for welfare because I am white. I can't get food stamps because I am the wrong color. Then, my neighbor sits next door smoking marijuana all day, and refuses to get a job. While I try to go to college and work. The government doesn't help those who need it. I know I am referring to the Board of Social Services, but Dept of Health and Human Services is supposed to help individuals also. Policies are too strict, people that shouldn't get assistance do. People that need it don't.
