Congress mostly stood as the Trump administration – driven by Elon Musk and the Ministry of Government Agency, which was called and established by President Donald Trump – takes a saw to a wide range of government programs. But now the courts are heading to slow down or stop some of the efforts that critics claim to be illegal, unconstitutional or both.
Freezing financing and canceling contracts has a chilling effect on health programs, such as granting biomedical research to the National Institutes of Health, Humanitarian and Health Assistance provided by the United States Agency for International Development, Federal Finance due to community health centers and other local agencies.
The members of this week’s team are Jolly Rovner from KFF Health News and Jessie Hellmann from CQ Roll Call, Shefali Lutera of 19 and Maya Goldman of Axios.
Among the fast food from this week’s episode:
- Universities are reviewing employment and other aspiration procedures after the Trump administration imposed a sudden and immediate decrease on indirect costs, which help cover public expenditures and unlikely expenses in federal research grants. The slowdown in research institutions may undermine the possibilities of innovation in general – and the economy in the country specifically, as the United States relies a little on those functions and developments it produces.
- The Trump administration decision to apply the maximum indirect costs not only in the future, but also current federal scholarships violates the terms of spending legislation approved by Congress. Meanwhile, the health effects of the sudden entry of the US Agency for International Development have become clear, including concerns about how the nation is unwilling to a healthy threat that appears abroad.
- Congress still does not agree to a full financing package for this year, and it seems that Republicans do not appear in a hurry to do more than extending the current extension – and passes a budget decision to finance Trump’s priorities and calm his selected goals.
- The Goop House Budget Solve Packaged this week includes a call to 880 billion dollars in spending discounts that are expected to reach Medicaid strongly. Republican leaders in the House of Representatives say they are weighing the requirements for a hypothesis, but only a small percentage of the beneficiaries of medical aid is subject to this change, as most of them suffer from disability or other causes – or they actually work. Discounts to medicaid can have successive consequences, including the national problem of mothers’ deaths.
Also this week, Rovner has made Mark McClellan-Director of the Duke-MARGOLIS Institute for Health Policy that led the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Medicare & Medicaid service centers during the George W. Bush administration-about the impact of financing pieces on research universities. Ruffener, the winner of the annual “Health Policy” competition, reads.
In addition, for “additional credit”, the committee members suggest the health policy stories they read this week and which they believe should also read:
