Los Angeles County's health system is on the brink of a financial crisis due to federal funding cuts from the current administration and Congress.

Additionally, there's a likelihood of a $200-million cut to the Department of Public Health, severely impacting services including disease monitoring and substance use treatment. Employee layoffs may occur, and legal actions are underway to contest these budget cuts.
