States Sue Over Health Funding Cuts by Trump Administration
Multiple states are taking legal action against the Trump administration following a decision to rescind billions in public health funding. The lawsuits, filed on April 1, 2025, claim that the cuts will severely impact public health services across the nation. The decision to cut funding has been linked to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which has seen its budget affected.
Among the states affected, Wisconsin has reported that a crucial helpline will be forced to shut down due to the grant cuts. Similarly, Maine's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced the termination of dozens of contracts, further highlighting the widespread impact of these federal cuts.
The legal challenge is led by attorneys general from several states, arguing that the sudden withdrawal of funding undermines critical public health initiatives, particularly in the aftermath of the ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Trump administration has yet to respond to the lawsuits, but the controversy continues to unfold as more states join the legal battle.
