WHO is Accountable Act

Bill 119 HR 600, also known as the "World Health Organization Funding Prohibition Act," aims to prevent the United States from using any funds to seek membership in the World Health Organization (WHO) or to provide any assessed or voluntary contributions to the organization. The bill specifically targets the WHO, an international agency that focuses on global health issues and emergencies.

If passed, this legislation would effectively cut off any financial support from the US government to the WHO. This move is likely in response to criticisms of the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns about the organization's transparency and effectiveness.

Supporters of the bill argue that the WHO has failed to adequately address global health crises and that US taxpayer dollars should not be used to support an organization that they believe is ineffective. Critics, on the other hand, argue that withdrawing funding from the WHO could have negative consequences for global health efforts and could weaken international cooperation on health issues. Overall, Bill 119 HR 600 represents a significant shift in US policy towards the WHO and could have far-reaching implications for global health initiatives. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its ultimate fate remains uncertain.
