Texas & Florida lack funding to launch substantial Zika prevention awareness among pregnant women: 4 insights

Florida and Texas may be hard-pressed to offer substantial Zika prevention in women's clinics, according to Kaiser Health News.

Here are four insights:

1. The two states have placed funding restrictions on women's clinics, and failed to expand Medicaid.

2. This lack of funding will make it difficult for the states' healthcare systems to adequately inform women about Zika's impact.

3. Texas and Florida are pushing prevention programs of mosquito surveillance and spraying.

4. The two states have established public health campaigns, but they are not supported by much money.
