The U.S. would leave the World Health Organization right away. Federal agencies could not spend money to take part in the WHO or any replacement group.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
WHO Withdrawal Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Latest action on H.R. 54: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal agencies, U.S. health officials, and public health programs that work with the WHO. It could also affect researchers, state and local health departments, and international partners that rely on WHO channels for disease information or health guidance.
Why this matters: The bill could change how the United States works with other countries during disease outbreaks and other health threats. Today, the U.S. can take part in WHO meetings, programs, and information-sharing systems. This bill would end that role unless Congress later allows a different form of cooperation. The exact effect would depend on how the withdrawal happens in practice.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
