Trump's 'Make America Healthy Again' agenda takes aim at chronic disease

Summary

73% Informative

President Donald Trump has vowed to end what he calls an epidemic of chronic disease.

But even as he extols MAHA, he has unleashed a slew of policies likely to make Americans less healthy.

He’s slashing 20,000 full time positions from HHS and cutting more than $4 billion in indirect costs related to health research grants.

Public health advocates say the staffing cuts run counter to the promise of a MAHA agenda.

Many public health experts question how the federal government will be able to respond to existing problems, as well as new health issues, with fewer employees and resources.

Infectious diseases are one area of concern.

Trump withdrew the nation from the World Health Organization , which detects, monitors, and responds to emerging health threats.
