President Donald Trump's day one order withdrawing the United States from the World Health Organization as he signed a flurry of new executive actions Monday night is a major hit to the nation's public health system,

The article from MSN discusses a public health expert's criticism of former President Donald Trump's "Day One" executive order, which aimed to dismantle the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The expert, Dr. Georges Benjamin, Executive Director of the American Public Health Association, described the move as a "grievous wound" to public health. He highlighted that the ACA had significantly expanded health insurance coverage, particularly through Medicaid expansion and protections for pre-existing conditions. Trump's order sought to repeal and replace the ACA, potentially leaving millions without health insurance and reversing gains in healthcare access. Dr. Benjamin emphasized the negative implications for public health, including reduced access to preventive care, increased emergency room visits, and overall poorer health outcomes, especially for vulnerable populations.
