Bird flu plan lacks a key detail
Bird flu plan lacks a key detail
USA Today
May 4, 2006
The Bush administration's pandemic flu action plan, issued Wednesday, is a good step toward getting the nation ready for a 1918-style flu disaster, health experts say, but it's missing a key element: how to pay for it.
The plan acknowledges that the response to a pandemic could exceed the financial resources of government agencies, says Jeffrey Levi, director of Trust for America's Health, a public-health advocacy group. The plan cites President Bush's $7.1 billion funding request for preparedness, but Levi says it doesn't address how to pay for services that would be needed after a pandemic hits.
