Health care has proved that it is a vulnerable goal for firefighting of cuts and policy changes ordered under the name of reducing waste and improving efficiency. However, most of the influence is, the higher the price of eggs in the grocery store.
Experts in a wide range of fields agree from basic science to public health. “It’s very stupid to cut funds in this way,” he said. Harold BarmusA former director of the Nobel Prize and a former director of the National Institute of Health and the National Cancer Research Institute.
The flame of the wound has resulted in meaningless and unintentional results. Consider the case of subsidies canceled after two years of a three -year project. For example, it means that $ 2 million has already been spent, but there will be no profit for the investment.
Some of the target areas are not management priorities. This includes a sudden termination of long covid, which bothers more than 100,000 Americans, and suspension of work on MRNA vaccines that promise not only for cancer treatment as well as infectious diseases.
Although charity groups flowed out to prevent some gaps, Dustin Sposato, a communication manager of the scientific charity alliance, who strives to increase the support of charity for basic science research, said, “Charitable activities cannot replace federal funds.”
The trump administration reduction (proposal and real) is an important way to affect the health of US health and more important US patients.
Reduction of the National Institute of Health: The Trump administration has cut a new subsidy of $ 2.3 billion since the beginning of this period, and has terminated existing subsidies for vaccines that do not match priorities, HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 (vaccine topics, HIV/AIDS and COVID-19). National Institute of Health Grants has an annual renewal clause, but it is de rare. The administration also reduced the “training subsidies” so that young scientists could join NIH.
An important reason: NIH has long been a crucible for basic science research. Industry is a type of task that usually does not. Most pharmaceutical patents are rooted in NIH’s tasks, and many scientists of pharmaceutical manufacturers have learned their skills from institutions supported by NIH or NIH itself. The termination of some subsidies has a direct impact on the patient because it includes ongoing clinical studies on various conditions, including pediatric cancer, diabetes and long covid. And more extensively, the financing of public research can be expensive in the long run due to the lack of new discovery. The 25% reduction in public research and development expenditure reduces the country’s economic production to the same amount as the decrease in gross domestic product during the large recession. A new study has been found.
Reduction to college: The Trump administration also tried to get a terrible blow. Currently blocked by the court -The scientific research of the university by cutting additional money involving the research subsidy for “indirect costs” such as libraries, laboratory animal management, support employees and computer systems.
An important reason: Wealthy universities can find funds to replenish the indirect costs of Draco Nien. But the poor, and many state schools, many state schools, and many of them will simply stop research. In this laboratory, a large number of important discoveries appear. “Medical research is a suggestion that loses money. (The dean has asked for anonymity because the employer can’t talk about the record.)” To terminate the research, we will do this for this, which will go to the same place as the Tennessee University and the University of Arkansa. ” In addition, students at state universities can be a scientist.
Public health cuts: This hit came in several forms. The administration is Disease Control and Prevention Center; Cobid -related subsidies; Subsidies related to diversity, equity, and included activities -translated into subsidies to improve the health care of the underprivileged. Cobid epidemics have disappeared, but these subsidies have been used to improve laboratory capacity to improve detection and surveillance in the state. And they were accustomed to officially training the state’s public health workers, and many of them learned about it.
An important reason: Public health authorities and researchers were working hard to promote faster and more thoughtful response to future infectious diseases, especially when new flu and measles were resurrected. MATI HLATSHWAYO DAVIS, director of St. Lewis Health, has canceled three subsidies a day. One subsidy under the Covid Rubric included a program that helped to change the lifestyle for community members to reduce the risk of hypertension and diabetes. Others paid the salary of support employees for various public health initiatives. “The disappointing thing is that the decision has been made without due diligence.
Health -related effects of tariffs: Trump has exempted prescription drugs from tariffs on most income so far, but has not ruled out the possibility of imposing such tariffs. “This is a moving goal.
An important reason: The exemption does not completely quarantine US patients at higher costs. About two -thirds of prescription drugs have already been manufactured in the United States, but raw materials are often imported from China and do not enjoy tariff exemption. Many basic items used in syringes, surgical curtains and personal protective equipment (syringes, surgical curtains and personal protective equipment) are also imported. Finally, Americans may have difficulty even if tariffs do not expand the price of purchasing ingredients and medical supplies somehow. Overall tariffs on various products, from steel to clothing, will reduce the number of ships crossing the Pacific to deliver. Strain said, “I think that something is inconvenient in the supply chain and we are likely to end with a tribe.
Medicaid Change: Trump has vowed to protect Medicaid, a state health insurance program for Americans with low income and disability. The Republican Republican Party, however, is a budget bill to extend the tax exemptions in 2017 by looking at the program as a source of offset, which helps Trump’s “big and beautiful bill.” GOP leaders have pointed out that they can squeeze out in Medicaid, which accounts for about 20%of Americans. But deep wounds are politically troubled.
In order to create some savings, administrative officials pointed out that they were sometimes open to at least some adjustments to Medicaid. One idea of the table (work requirements) must work for adults in Medicaid or get any kind of vocational training. (Almost 2/2 I am already working among the 19-64-year-old Medicaid winners.)
An important reason: In 2024, the insurance ratio was 8.2%, which was 8.2%near the lowest level due to the expansion of Medicaid according to the 2010 Affordable Care Act. Critics say business requirements are a slim backhand method for Medicaid rolls. The document requirements of such a program were so cumbersome that people who were not qualified were eliminated and the ratio without insurance has increased. no way Council budget office report The proposed change is estimated to reduce the scope of insurance coverage by at least 7.7 million people over 10 years. As a result, the rate of treatment that is not compensated is increased, and the vulnerable medical facilities (thinking about rural hospitals) are in danger.
