- Executive Orders Continue to Affect Health Programs
President Donald J. Trump has signed executive orders that directly and indirectly affect federal health care agencies and policies. While the Administration has rescinded its budgetary memo that froze federal funding, other executive orders related to federal agencies have not been lifted. Federal programs are still under review, pausing a wide variety of scientific communications, grantmaking activities, and participation in public meetings.
The White House also issued a statement on imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China. The CAP is monitoring this action for its potential to impact the availability of laboratory supplies in the US.
The impact of these policies remains fluid in a rapidly changing environment. The CAP will continue monitoring all White House activities and update members on the evolving changes in health care policy affecting pathologists and patients.
