Video: Congressman Confronts CDC Chief Over Misleading White House Statement on Sequester Cuts to Vaccine Program

Obama proposes deeper cuts than sequestration

March 12, 2013
by Mark Newgent

The Obama administration claims, on a White House website, that  2,050 less children in Maryland will receive vaccines due to Sequestration.  Sequestration cuts the CDC 317 program by $30 million. Yet Obama’s proposed 2013 budget cuts the program $58 million, nearly double the amount of the sequester cuts.

Watch Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) confront CDC Director Tom Frieden, who admits his agency could have ensured the same level of vaccinations under deeper Obama administration cuts, but not under smaller sequester reductions.
