Trump Administration Again Blocked From Cutting Billions in Federal Health Money
- A federal judge in Rhode Island issued a preliminary injunction on a recent Friday to prevent $11 billion in federal public health funding cuts from taking effect.
- The injunction followed a legal action initiated earlier in April by a coalition of 23 states along with the District of Columbia, which aimed to stop the funding reductions that threatened to undermine the nation’s public health system.
- Congress provided funding amid the pandemic to support COVID-19 response, mental health, and substance abuse programs, but following the federal government's funding reductions that started in late March, health departments nationwide have begun laying off employees.
- By Tuesday evening, the federal government is required to submit proof that it is adhering to the injunction, which applies solely to the plaintiff states and D.C., while funds are being redirected to align with the Trump administration's priorities.
- This ruling temporarily halts drastic funding reductions and suggests ongoing legal challenges over federal support for public health amid shifting budget priorities.
