In 2008 the United States Federal Government budgeted about US$30 billion for foreign aid and of that, about 8 billion was for healthcare. Global Washington criticized this budget for neglecting development.{{cite web |url= http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/thebusinessofgiving/2009936442_making_a_case_for_foreign_aid.html |title=The Business of Giving - Making a case for foreign aid |first=Kristi |last=Heim
