Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services States have been told that they can no longer use grants that were funding infectious disease management and addiction services.

Wasting tax dollars, not curbing it. β€œThere’s millions of dollars that have been spent that essentially, the projects will never be able to be finished,” the official said. β€œThis is just like throwing money out the window; it’s a total waste.”
