Details on global health spending were released by the White House today, and a preliminary analysis indicates the President is proposing only $165 million in additional funding for bilateral AIDS as well as the US contribution to the Global Fund. &#8220;This proposal is even worse than we had feared. With this spending request, Obama has broken his campaign promise to provide $1 billion a year in new money for global AIDS, and he has overlooked the growing threat of tuberculosis,&#8221; said the Center for Global Health.<br \/>\n[&#8230;]<br \/>\nThis unfolding health crisis could quickly spread, as people who stop treatment become far more infectious.
