The United States is facing a number of major disease outbreaks, from foodborne cyclosporiasis to vaccine-preventable measles. We speak to the former chief medical officer at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Debra Houry.

"It's just like Iraq," says McGovern. "We're getting involved in a quagmire here, an endless war."
