Twenty-three states and the District of Columbia have filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding abrupt cuts of $11 billion in public health funding. The lawsuit claims these terminations have caused significant harm, jeopardizing essential health services such as immunizations and mental health support. The federal government justified these cuts by arguing the funds were unnecessary post-Covid-19 pandemic. However, plaintiffs contend that the grants were meant to address ongoing health needs beyond the pandemic, alleging that the justifications for funding termination are legally flawed and violate federal law.
