Subject: Channeling Billions of Taxpayer Funds Oversees for Duplicative Initiatives via the "Global Health Security Act"
Description: The Global Health Security Act of 2021, sponsored by Rep. Connolly (D-VA), would force taxpayers to send billions of additional dollars overseas for the creation of yet another international organization -- the so-called Global Health Security Agenda Interagency Review Council. The council will supposedly be made up of 30 countries and advance global health and pandemic preparedness. ACU recognizes that the U.S. already funds countless international organizations already performing these initiatives including the World Health Organization (WHO), the Global Health Security Initiative, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the Vaccine Alliance, and dozens of entities run by the United Nations. ACU supports an America First agenda and President Trump's actions to withdraw the U.S. from corrupt international entities such as the WHO, and opposes channeling even more taxpayer funds overseas to failed and duplicative initiatives.
Result: Agreed to, 307-112
