Marco Rubio’s State Department named it the America First Global Health Strategy, and the name is the confession.
For decades the United States helped the world’s sick and asked for nothing, and the world was a little better for it. Now it refuses unless the country hands over the personal health records of its citizens. Uganda sent seven years of data to keep the money flowing, even as we send a little less each year. Like any extortionist, the American government will be back, because the first payment shows them which countries are easy marks.
The Statue of Liberty asks the world for its tired and its poor. This strategy demands the world’s sick submit their health data, then lets American companies crawl through it. America First was always more than a slogan. The State Department printed it on the door of the old USAID offices and demanded the world pay up.
