Kaiser Family Foundation: New Survey, Analysis Suggest a Growing Partisan Split About U.S. Government Engagement on Global Health
The Kaiser Family Foundation on Wednesday released several resources in conjunction with a Kaiser Family Foundation-sponsored event on the future of U.S. global health policy and programs. A new survey of the American public’s views on the U.S. role in global health and a separate report that summarizes the views of global health and foreign policy leaders on the U.S. role in global health “suggest a growing partisan divide, as the country gears up for the 2016 election.” In addition, an analysis of global health spending “finds funding for most global health programs remained essentially flat in the FY 2016 omnibus spending bill signed into law in December” (1/20).
