Despite criticism over his initial proposal in March that included huge cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, President Trump’s fleshed-out 2018 budget will slash billions from those health programs in order to spend more on the military and cover planned tax cuts.

The full budget plan is due to be released this morning at 11 a.m., but the White House administration inadvertently posted the section (PDF) that dealt with cuts to the HHS late Monday before it quickly took it offline.

In addition to a proposal to eliminate $800 billion from Medicaid, the Trump administration wants to make deep cuts to other health programs, including:

• $5.8 billion from the overall NIH budget, including $1 billion from the National Cancer Institute, $838 million from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and $575 million from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute
• $1.2 billion from the CDC
• $403 million from health workforce programs, including diversity training, mental and behavioral programs, and select nursing and physician training programs
• $22 million from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.
