I am writing today asking you to support HR 419, a good bill that would stop our taxpayer dollars from funding the World Health Organization (WHO).
As demonstrated by the WHO response to COVID-19, the organization is not only ineffective but pushes policies and agendas that are harmful to American patients and our nation's wellbeing. 
For example, while initially assisting the Chinese Communist Party in suppressing details about COVID's origins and transmissibility, the WHO later promoted China's unconscionable lockdowns and other violations of human rights as measures other nations should emulate.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is the largest funder of the WHO, "providing between $400 million to $500 million each year," according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. 
Now, there are efforts underway to double-down on failed WHO leadership with a proposal to create a new pandemic treaty that could hand international regulators more tools to promulgate protocols and procedures which will by far do more damage than good.
In addition, the WHO is set to consider questionable amendments to existing International Health Regulations (IHR) that appear to expand WHO authority while limiting nations' ability to contravene objectionable WHO actions.
Recent WHO behavior, combined with the looming expansion of its authority, signals that the time is here to remove the U.S. from the WHO.  
Thank you for considering support of this important measure.
