Others, including Texas, Maine and Rhode Island, were still scrambling to understand the impact of the cuts before taking any action.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In interviews, state health officials predicted that thousands of health department employees and contract workers could lose their jobs nationwide.<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>Some predicted the loss of as much as 90 percent of staff from some infectious disease teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe reality is that, when we take funding away from public health systems, the systems just do not have the capacity, because they\u2019re chronically underfunded over the decades,\u201d said Dr. Umair Shah, who served as Washington State\u2019s health secretary until January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The news of the cuts <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/health\/health-news\/cdc-pulling-back-11b-covid-funding-sent-health-departments-us-rcna198006\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">was first reported<\/a> by NBC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The discontinued grants include about $11.4 billion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as around $1 billion from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, known as S.A.M.H.S.A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Congress authorized the money for state public health programs as part of Covid relief bills. The funds were indeed initially used for testing for and vaccination against the coronavirus, as well as to address health disparities in high-risk populations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But last year,<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>the money was also allowed to be put toward other pressing public health concerns, including testing and surveillance of other respiratory viruses, an array of vaccines for children or uninsured adults and preparedness for health emergencies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday, Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the federal Department of Health and Human Services, said in a statement: \u201cThe Covid-19 pandemic is over, and H.H.S. will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a nonexistent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Trump administration\u2019s cancellations of grants and contracts throughout the government has led to numerous lawsuits from states and nonprofit groups, which are still in their early stages. The health grants in question were authorized and appropriated by Congress, and their termination may lead to new lawsuits. Several states said they were exploring legal options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe will continue to assess the full impacts and are in touch with the Attorney General\u2019s Office and the 49 other states facing similar challenges,\u201d Governor Maura Healey of Massachusetts said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The surplus funds had been a boon for cash-strapped public health departments seeking to modernize their creaky systems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For example, Alaska had been applying some of the funds toward purchasing lab equipment and updating electronic records, so that state epidemiologists would no longer need to fill in patient details manually. Other states were building systems to link surveillance data from hospitals and labs to health departments.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Antiquated data systems <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/20\/us\/politics\/covid-data-outbreaks.html\" title=\"\">hampered the response<\/a> in many states to the Covid and mpox outbreaks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe had the opportunity to update some of these things that desperately needed to be updated to have a more efficient public health response,\u201d said Dr. Anne Zink, who stepped down as Alaska\u2019s chief medical officer in August.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But now, with grants cut, the project will remain unfinished, and the tax dollars invested so far may go to waste, she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In some states, the funds have also helped study chronic diseases, whose presence increases the risk of severe outcomes and death from the coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The funds from S.A.M.H.S.A. were not earmarked for Covid programs, and they were intended to address mental health and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/05\/11\/us\/politics\/overdose-deaths-fentanyl-meth.html\" title=\"\">substance use<\/a> issues. The pandemic led to widespread loneliness, boredom and anxiety, factors that contributed to a surge in overdose deaths that reached just over 111,000 in 2022, up from about 70,000 in 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The peak overdose numbers dropped to about 87,000 in the 12-month period that ended in October, according to the most recent federal data. Some of the sharpest declines were in states such as West Virginia, Michigan and Tennessee, all of which strongly supported President Trump in the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Brian Hepburn, the executive director of the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, said many states had also applied their funds to build out their 988 suicide lifelines and other crisis services. But states understood the funding was subject to time constraints, so few used it to fund ongoing services, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In Colorado, Covid-era supplemental funds supported about 60 programs, including those for crisis response teams; services for adults with severe mental illness and for young adults with early onset of psychotic disorders; and peer support counselors for people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Colorado had committed its remaining $31.5 million in grant money to support the providers of these services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIn so many cases, these are lifesaving programs and services, and we worry for the well- being of those who have come to count on this support,\u201d said Dannette R. Smith, the commissioner of Colorado\u2019s Behavioral Health Administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The grants from S.A.M.H.S.A. were scheduled to expire in September, but some Covid grants from the C.D.C. were meant to last until 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">States were preparing for the grants to expire then, but \u201cto have it happen early and with no notice is obviously extremely disruptive,\u201d said one state public health official, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some states, like Kentucky and South Carolina, rely heavily on federal funding to run their health programs, while others, such as New Jersey and California, depend on it less. Still, most of the people and data systems that track disease outbreaks are funded by the C.D.C.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The abruptness of the decision left \u201cno opportunities to transition people into other means, no opportunities even for a state government to say, \u2018In our next budget cycle, we\u2019re going to add X number of positions,\u2019\u201d said one official with close knowledge of the impact, who asked not to be named because they feared retaliation from the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s millions of dollars that have been spent that essentially, the projects will never be able to be finished,\u201d the official said. \u201cThis is just like throwing money out the window; it\u2019s a total waste.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid
