A coalition of 23 state attorneys general, led by California and New York, has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging its decision to cut $11 billion in federal COVID-19 and public health funding. The lawsuit claims that the cuts are illegal and lack justification, asserting that they will severely impact public health services and increase risks for future pandemics. Attacking the decision, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser highlighted the ongoing public health challenges stemming from COVID-19, emphasizing the reliance on federal funds for critical health initiatives, such as disease tracking and vaccinations.
The attorney general coalition asserts that the cuts to federal health funding threaten public health initiatives and disproportionately impact states' ability to manage future pandemics.
