Should the government fund the World Health Organization?

Yes, but only relative to the amount that other countries contribute

Yes, but decrease the amount

It depends on the circumstance.

No, the government should not fund any non-governmental organisations.

The World Health Organization (WHO) should receive funding from all United Nations recognized countries. However, a country should be allowed to either restrict or stop funding entirely. Should a country choose to restrict funding, a formal process must be developed so as all countries understand the reasoning for it.

After a full investigation is conducted on how WHO handled the COVID crisis, we should adjust our contribution accordingly.

Yes, but only if there is serious reform.

I don’t have enough information

Yes but in proportion to what other countries are supporting and economically where the government stands.

i need to learn more about this topic

Drastically reduce or end funding for as long as non-communist countries continue to have diplomatic relations with China (PRC) (instead of Taiwan (ROC) and recognize it's government as the sole legitimate government government of all China, and allowing people with PRC passports or passports with PRC visas and stamp, to enter the borders of non-communist countries

Yes, and fund national and local programs as well

we should contribute to the WHO, but also dramatically increase the percentage of our spending domestically

Not enough information for judgement, so I will remain neutral right now.

No, and imprison Bill Gates for crimes against humanity

Yes but in proportion to what other countries are supporting and economically where the government stands in terms of debt

Yes but not to the detriment of healthcare in our own country.

Yes and no for this topic.

Yes as the WHO is what informs the World about viruses, diseases, and gives us recommendations for it. Highly recommend it!!

You should contribute the same as other country's and fund local programs more

Everyone should be funded equally

We should only contribute comparable to everyone else, but this would be so that we have more funding for national and local programs.

Yes, but only after thorough investigation rules out any corruption without the WHO.

don;t know what that is

Keep the same amount.

Yes, but decrease the amount and fund more national and local programs instead

No, and fund national programs instead.

Yes, and not just proportional to each country's ability to contribute, but additionally to supplement/substitute the contribution from nations unable to do so

Yes, as long as bureaucratic corruption is dealt with.

No! It is corrupt and partisan as shown by the covid-19 "pandemic"/abuse

No. We should also have nothing to do with the WHO.

It depends on how much the WHO needs and how much other countries contribute.

Keep the same amount

No, and the government should not give funds to any organizations

don't have enough knowledge to say

Not informed enough on this topic

Don’t know enough

Yes, we can continue contributing but we should work on local programs, especially in rural America.

Yes, as long as the World Health Organization and its motives are monitored and made publicly available to view

does the government have to do everything? if the world health organization has anything to do with the government then yes, if not, then no

I think we should put a little bit of funds into the World Health but for the most part we need to fund national and local programs more.

Yes but allow citizens to regulate what they do and vote on food bans for the health for current and future generations.

Yes, but on the stance that we cannot pay more money for certain political or religious interests to be inappropriately inflated or emphasized.

The government should fund W.H.O, it is an important thing to promote health and to deal with dangerous things that can cost a human life. Health is important, without W.H.O, there wouldn't be cures for diseases, and cancer, etc. It's good to fund the organization to help those who study to overcome dangerous health hazards for the better future for the youth who are still growing.

Other countries besides the US should also fund the WHO, but the allocation of the budget that's used responsibly needs to be done.

I think that yes we should but I also think that everyone else should help because it involves our whole world.

Trump has long charged that WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus covered up China’s responsibility for the Covid pandemic

I think the UN should be an independent governing body that acts as a federal government for the whole planet therefore funding for the WHO falls on the UN governing body

It depends on how large the current issue is on how much the government should contribute. EX: higher lethality gives more funding.

Somewhat, because it will benefit us in the future but it should be decreased. Additionally, people should work to try and make a living not expect the to be handed everything for free.

it should be compliant with the issues that America has. For instance we should try to improve relations within residents in the US rather than funding so much to the world health organization. To improve the things happening in the US rather than improving the world.

Yes, and fund foreign organizations intent on maintaining the health and living conditions of citizens outside of American borders.

We should focus on our own nation and only fund other countries if there is something like a new and deadly disease.

Yes but it should be relative to our wealth compared to other countries wealth per capita, interdependence on international trade and those other countries reliance on our support with efforts on those countries to decrease dependence overtime as conditions improve
.

Yes, but I don’t know much we are spending but I would think increase it because the United States is not healthy at all right now. But that could be because the World Health Organization is ineffective so I don’t really know.

Yes, but only to the amount that other countries contribute AND the money saved should go towards funding national and local programs.

No, if our US Government doesn't get any control over the organization, I don't think we should be funding it as a standard thing. If we want to fund specific events or programs, that would seem more reasonable. Otherwise, we have no control over how they spend the money given to them.

No, use those funds to develop a government subsidized healthcare system that competes in a market with private insurance providers

No, the US should focus on domestic priorities. Countries with the means to, and countries that contributed to the problems (eg through poor decolonization plans) should increase their contributions.

Yes, though we should monitor how the funds are spent and investigate whether any bias towards our enemies like China exists.

Yes, but decrease the amount relative to what other countries contribute to the World Health Organization.

Yes but base our funding on statistics and data and we need to influence other countries to contribute more as well.

yes this public health organization is responsible for research and they write about recommendations to help protect public health

I think the WHO is amazing but remove funding for transgender surgeries and elective abortions (abortion in which the mother’s life and health aren’t in danger I also think kids who have been SAd should have the option since they likely won’t be able to carry it anyways)

It can contribute to it but shouldn't fund it. The amount contributed should be proportional to that of other countries.

No. because the WHO is globally and the FDA can support the American people by itself. Essentially Funding the W.H.O is a waste of tax payer money.

Yes, the US should fund half or more of the program to have leverage over International Health politics

Any foreign investments should be highly evaluated, highly transparent, and be made a public national vote with ongoing financial reports and updates on expense usage to eat national public in an highly transparent and communicated manner.

yes but it should not be a main way of healthcare or a priority for the US, instead helping other countries.

The government should pay for worldwide healthcare to be better and also focus on local and national healthcare.

I want other countries to have access to medical care, however I fear WHO is from a colonial standpoint and not a global prospective. Healthcare is a human right

Yes, but first responsibility should be the health of our own nation which has countless health issues from obesity to general drug/substance abuse

Yes, but only when the WHO reduces corruption, such as by rejecting corporate donations. Encourage the WHO to investigate environmental causes of poor health, such as pollution and food scarcity.

Yes, the United States has the ability to help so many countries that really struggle economically with health issues.

The government's focus should be on US policies and programs. We should contribute globally to the WHO, but the main focus should be on our population and what's best for Americans. It would be better if we set the example on the world stage rather than pour money into these organizations.

The government should help fund the WHO, but as it is part of the UN other powers and wealthy nations such as China and Russia should fund it as equally as the US. The US should not be the highest contributor.

National, state, and local programs should be prioritized but US should contribute to WHO funding in coordination with CDC to promote health worldwide and better respond to pandemics
