Did Obamacare help or harm the fungal meningitis outbreak....

[Guns Guns Guns]

Vigilance on the part of an astute physician identified the first case of fungal meningitis, and then well-trained epidemiologists at the Tennessee Department of Health discovered additional cases, identified the causative agent and alerted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


This outbreak of meningitis is an opportunity for us to recognize the importance of our public health infrastructure and explore ways to further improve it.


Much of the upgrade at the state health departments has been possible due to the Affordable Care Act, AKA Obamacare, which allocated $270 million for public health infrastructure training as well as research and tracking.


Infectious disease doctors and as epidemiologists are confident that the fungal meningitis outbreak will be contained and eliminated, yet unquestionably, other infections and potential outbreaks are lurking.


We must use this opportunity to recognize the success of our public health infrastructure.

Are you saying the ACA is responsible for tracking this? Did the ACA found the CDC?
