“Good morning everyone, as you know, in February, President Obama sent to Congress an urgent request for emergency resources to protect the American people against Zika. It is a growing public health emergency with almost 17,000 Americans, including nearly 1,600 pregnant women, already confirmed cases of Zika. The facts are these: the Department of Health and Human Services has already repurposed $670 million dollars for Zika out of other critical initiatives to protect the American people. Secretary Burwell has said, ‘We have exhausted our ability to even provide short-term financing to help with Zika.’ The CDC is on pace to virtually exhaust all of the Zika domestic response funding by the end of September. CDC Director Tom Frieden has said, ‘The cupboard is bare.’ Basically, we are out of money. We need Congress to act."
