The Governors Public Health Alliance would counter federal health agencies under President Donald Trump as an independent hub to monitor diseases and prepare for emergencies.

Fifteen Democratic governors on Wednesday announced the formation of a state public health alliance designed to counter turmoil at federal agencies under the Trump administration. Leaders of the Governors Public Health Alliance said it will serve as a hub for governors and public health leaders to monitor disease outbreaks, establish public health policy guidance, prepare for pandemics and buy vaccines and other supplies.

The alliance, spanning states where roughly 1 in 3 Americans live, underscores the increasing fragmentation of the public health system that has been upended by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kennedy’s challenge to long-standing vaccine recommendations already prompted Democratic governors to form regional initiatives to provide immunization guidance. The latest alliance goes further in rebuking the Trump administration, encroaching on the federal government’s typical role coordinating the country’s preparation for disease threats and cooperating with global authorities.

A step in the right direction. If state's want to become socialist enclaves, more power to them. LOL, every democrat state/city that I've noticed lately are running huge deficits and running around like headless chickens pointing fingers. The few red states that are seeing deficits are tackling the problem with across-the-board budget cuts. REALITY. If you don't have the money, don't point fingers. DEAL WITH IT.

The CDC sends 15 billion+ to the various states every year so it looks to me like hundreds of millions can be saved by cutting off those 15 states.

Send the savings to ICE.
