President Trump's proposed budget suggests cutting funding for the National Institutes of Health (N.I.H.) nearly in half, reducing it from $48 billion to $27 billion. This budget criticizes the N.I.H. for alleged wastefulness and even connects it to the origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (C.D.C.) would decline from $9 billion to $4 billion, eliminating various public health programs. The budget indicates a strong shift towards prioritizing infectious disease over chronic health issues, impacting millions of Americans who rely on these services.
The proposed budget cuts funding for the N.I.H. by nearly half, claiming it's too unfocused, while seeking to eliminate other public health programs as unnecessary.
The budget blueprint reveals President Trumpâs plans to drastically reduce funding for the N.I.H. and C.D.C., focusing solely on infectious disease and cutting preventive health measures.
