President Donald Trump began the first week of the second phase and made an amazing change to US medical and federal health agencies.
Some of the biggest changes I saw last week are as follows.
We will leave WHO
Trump has signed an administrative order to begin to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization, in quoting the Covid-19 pandemic and other international health crisis “incorrect”. In 2021, the Biden administration stopped Trump's first official attempt at the WHO exit.
The impact on the United States may be important. WHO works as the first warning system when a new disease occurs. The United States is also expected to lose access to the global network of the WHO, which sets an influenza vaccine composition every year. However, the United States is the biggest donor, and to provide a wide range of technical expertise to institutions, WHO will feel even more influenced by Trump's decision.
But on Saturday, Trump said he might reconsider who he would participate in.
“Maybe we're considering trying to start over again, I don't know. Maybe we'll do so. They must clean it,” Trump is in Las Vegas. He said at the rally.
Disseminated policy has recovered
On Friday, Trump issued a Presidential order that revived the Republican opposition proposal of the Republican Party, known as the Mexico City Policy.
From going to an overseas non -governmental organization that executes or promotes abortion.
The rules were first introduced by President Ronald Reagan, and since then have been withdrawn by all Democratic President and have been re -implemented by all Republican members.
On Friday, Trump canceled the two Biden administration ordinances that attempted to expand US abortion.
HHS stops all communication
Several outlets reported last week, saying the Trump administration has told the Federal Health Organization to pause external communication so far. This includes institutions corresponding to the Ministry of Health and Welfare, such as the Disease Control Prevention Center, the Food and Pharmaceutical Bureau, and the National Institute of Health and Welfare.
ABC News reported that the notes sent to the leadership of the Federal Health Organization reported that the suspension of communication would be extended until February 1, and that it quoted the internal CDC audio recording.
Resources from the department, such as weekly public health publications for decades ago, are pending CDCs.
ABC reported that some of the health institutions were temporarily banned traveling and had been told to stop working with the WHO.
The drug price model has been canceled
Trump has withdrawn the Presidential order from the Biden administration, which created three drug price setting models aimed at reducing the cost of prescription drugs for Medicare and Medicade.
The Biden administration announced a proposal in February 2023, but was not implemented. For them, the cost of $ 2 per month for specific generic drugs and costs for cells and genetic therapy has been reduced.
The main Health and Ainici -chibi of Videnn, based on the inflation reduction method, contained a $ 2,000 self -paid cap and a Medicare drug price negotiation program for prescription drugs, and had no effect on Trump's execution behavior.
DEI, discarded discriminatory protection
Trump issued a presidential order on the first day of his first day to end all federal initiatives associated with diversity, fairness, and inclusions. He also moved to end various policies aimed at protecting the rights of LGBTQ+people.
Trump specifically signed the Presidential order that the US government declared only two gender, male and women. It is essentially trying to end the legal awareness of transgender and non -binary people under federal law.
The federal government uses the term “sex” instead of “gender”, and to the Ministry of State and the Ministry of Land Security, “Identification documents issued by governments, such as passports, visas, and global entrance cards, are accurate and accurate.” Requests to request. Reflect the holder sex. “
In the statement, the American Freedom Union said that the gender order said, “The federal government” denies who he is, and threatens the freedom of all people and freedom of self -expression, Requires discrimination. ”

Healthcare technology latest: Healthcare cyber attacks have more than half of the US population
UnitedHealth Group Sub -company's changing healthcare cyber attacks have influenced approximately 190 million Americans and are almost twice the previous estimation published by Federal Regulatory Authorities in October.
This number fixes the healthcare data infringement as the largest medical data infringement in US history, and is not the second. Previous records were set by the national anthem in 2015, where hackers infringed data from 78.8 million patients.
UnitedHealth said that the “majority” of the affected individuals was notified. The official final number will be submitted to the US Ministry of Health and Welfare “later”.
“Healthcare changes do not recognize the misuse of personal information as a result of this case, and do not see that the data is not displayed in the data during the analysis,” said the company. I mentioned in the statement.
In February, a ransomware group called BLACKCAT violated some of the information technology network of Change Healthcare. Change Healthcare offers profitable cycle management tools and other services for medical providers and payers, and handles billions of transactions each year.
UnitedHealth cut off the system that was infringed when cyber attack was detected, and confusion caused a serious fallout in the US medical sector as a whole. Many doctors are temporarily left without a way to meet the prescription or receive a service, and some medical providers saved thousands of dollars to keep the door open. 。
In a parliamentary hearing on May, United Health's CEO Andrew Witty presumed that about one -third of Americans could have compromised. Witty also confirmed that UnitedHealth had paid $ 22 million to cyber criminals a few months after the attack.
The sum of the updated violations can help United Harus to promote good intentions with Americans.
UnitedHealth announced last week that company veteran Tim NOEL will be the new responsible person in the insurance department.

The healthcare sector is excellent in 2025
Healthcare sector has seen a major decline led by medical insurance companies and hospitals at the end of last year, with concerns about reducing this year's Medicade funds. However, Strategas analyst states that budget reduction is not a simple lift for this parliament, and health care will see a healthy bounce back this year. It has already begun. The S & P Healthcare Sector became the best performer in January.
The food program as a medicin wants the Trump administration to focus on nutrition.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination for health and welfare secretary is facing his opposition to his attitude toward the vaccine, but his approach to food and nutrition focuses on the nutrition counseling of government planning patients. We are promoting cautious optimism among the startups. Nutrition counseling has begun to gain traction in the Medicade Program, which helps fighting obesity and diabetes through meals, not CLP-1. If he is confirmed, Kennedy can boost the program.
