Feb 9 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is expected to cut about $600 million in public health grants to California, Minnesota, Illinois and Colorado because they do not align with the White House’s priorities, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Reuters could not verify the report. The HHS did not immediately respond to Reuters’ request for comment.
