Trump Strips Away Over $150 Million in Illinois Health Care Funding Springfield, IL — In response to Donald Trump rescinding $153 million in federal grant funding to Illinois for mental health services, substance abuse treatment and infectious disease prevention, the Democratic Party of Illinois released the following statement:
“Stripping away funding for critical public health care is a slap in the face to Illinois families—but the Trump Administration never misses an opportunity to remind us that they’re brutish. This is another signal to Illinois voters that cruelty is what MAGA stands for.”

· President Donald Trump’s administration has rescinded $153 million in federal grant funding to Illinois programs for mental health services, substance abuse treatment and infectious disease prevention — cuts that Gov. JB Pritzker said will inflict “immeasurable harm.”
· “At a time when Americans desperately need support for mental health and substance abuse, the Trump administration has again prioritized cruelty over care and cut essential funds states were relying on to fund lifesaving programs,” Pritzker said in a statement.

“The State of Illinois will do everything in our power to restore this vital federal funding and continue to invest in common sense public health solutions to keep our state safe and healthy.”
“While IDPH has been preparing for anticipated federal budget cuts, the termination of this awarded funding will have a debilitating impact on our efforts to protect the health of Illinoisans,” said IDPH Director Dr. Sameer Vohra.
