Trump Cuts $600M Health Funds to Four Blue States
📰 What Happened
The Trump administration canceled $600 million in health funding to four states led by Democrats. The money was for HIV and sexually transmitted disease programs. California, Colorado, Illinois, and New York lost their federal grants. A federal judge later blocked the cuts.
💡 Why It Matters
Millions of people in these four states depend on these programs for health care. Without the money, HIV testing and treatment could stop. Many community health centers might have to close their doors. The cuts affect some of the biggest states in America.
🔮 What Happens Next
The federal judge will hold a full hearing on the case. The four states will try to keep their funding. More legal battles are likely in the coming weeks.
