Trump Cancels Nearly $1B in Congress-Approved HHS Programs
Original: Trump Uses Rare Authority to Cancel Nearly $1B in HHS Programs Approved by Congress
President Trump is invoking a rarely used authority to cancel close to $1 billion in Department of Health and Human Services programs that Congress had already funded. The move bypasses lawmakers who approved the spending, drawing criticism from opponents of unilateral budget actions. Health policy observers are watching for which programs are affected and whether Congress will push back.
Why now: The use of rare executive authority to strike congressionally approved health spending is raising fresh concerns over executive power.
