As expected, President Trump signed an executive order announcing his intention to withdraw the U.S. from the World Health Organization. For the U.S., the implications [aren’t] clear and immediate but could also be significant. By not being at the table, the U.S. will cede this role to others—China in particular—and take itself out of influencing international negotiations.

With the incoming Trump administration and Republican-led Congress looking to ways to reduce federal spending, this Poll finds that the Medicare and Medicaid programs remain broadly popular, and more people favor more spending on those programs than less spending.
