CDC is not "the department of health". That would be DHHS.

  “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is the national public health agency of the United States. It is a United States federal agency under the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia.”

    Yes that's exactly the problem. Scope has been creeping for decades. Effort reduplicated across several sub branches of DHHS

      I’m not sure how to explain to you that some problems are multi-factorial. Have you never needed another department’s assistance with a work task? The CDC and HUD (and EPA and DOJ and whatnot) would both be involved in lead exposure in children, for example. Different aspects of the same big problem.
