Why The Health Of The Vulnerable Will Suffer Under President Trump

Tariffs and trade wars seem to dominate the recent headlines. Similarly, if not more important, President Trump’s health and global health orders have the devastating health consequences. The health of the weakest population of the society is closely linked to government policies and priorities. How will the United States and the weakest population in the United States and the whole world suffer due to changes in recent policies.

People in low -income countries

Trump administration formally Cut 83 % Among the USAID’s foreign aid contracts, which is one of the main causes of death in many African countries, is equal to billions of dollars to fight major infectious diseases like malaria. Although the US Department of State for Human Aid issued a Discount This will provide malaria medicines for millions that are needed, many humanitarian contracts have been terminated and many medicines and pesticides are powered beds that help to treat and prevent malaria. Not reached Some poorest countries such as Uganda and Nigeria. These countries bear the greatest burden of malaria worldwide.

From new modeling Malaria no more It suggests that just one year of life -saving malaria drugs will result in 15 million additional cases of malaria and 107,000 additional deaths globally, mostly in Africa’s low -income countries. The deaths in the poorest population will completely withhold US aid.

Also consider tuberculosis, which causes the most deaths of any infectious disease globally. According to this bacterial infection in 2023 killed about 1.25 million people globally World Health Organization.

USAID generally funds up to 250 million Tuberculosis program in 24 countriesMany people in Africa who suffer the most burden of the disease. With funding cuts, drugs are being broken and laboratory services are interrupted, making it difficult to identify, monitor and treat tuberculosis.

Since about USAID funding, about 3,600 Tuberculosis have been reported and 6,400 new cases have been diagnosed. The majority of these issues and deaths could have been prevented from continuous assistance and financing from the United States. These precision casualties are mainly found in poor patients who live in low -income countries and cannot afford tuberculosis medicines.

Another important federal program that has been affected by freezing on foreign aid includes an emergency plan for AIDS Relief President. The program has provided life -saving HIV/AIDS maintenance to low -income countries from 2003, and has saved more than 26 million lives since its inception. Despite the exemption at this location that theoretically allowed to continue with life -saving anti -retroot viral therapy and HIV testing, there have been many Pepper’s programs since then. Deducted. For example, Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AIDS Foundation, which treats HIV’s pregnant women to prevent their children from contracting with HIV, US and abroad, Notice of cancellation It affected the care of more than 350,000 people.

If funding for Pepper is not fully restored, about 1 million people will die every year. All of these will be found in low -income countries where people cannot afford anti -viral medicines to fight HIV.

Backward communities in the United States

President Trump, also in the recent executive order Deducted Health Equity Advisory Committee for Medicare and Medicated Services. This committee identifies and identifies systemic obstacles in access to health care, and is especially important for colorful people and backward classes living in the countryside that face significant challenges in accessing high quality health care. Without this committee, colorful people will suffer and racial discrimination in health care will be promoted.

Low -income American and disabled persons

Medicide’s future is also uncertain as Congress is trying to reduce Republican spending. Tillions of dollars can be cut for Medicide, possibly by caping the amount of an enrolling expenses or by adding work requirements for every beneficiary.

If these policies were implemented, Millions of Americans The largest health insurance program to serve more than 70 million Americans can be excluded from the medcade. Medicated provides health insurance to low -income people, pregnant women, children and disabled people. This would mean that these Americans will have less access to doctor’s visits, dental care and life -saving medicines. Medicide serves people who cannot afford health care and medicines, and such policies will have devastating consequences to promote health differences in the most weak.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Of all forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most astonishing and inhuman.”
