One in 20 hospitalized patients has an healthcare-associated infection.
Since 1999, two million Americans have been infected with West Nile virus.
Salmonella causes about 1 million foodborne infections, 20,000 hospitalizations, and
380 deaths annually, with health care costs of $365 million per year.
~1,000 cases of TB are diagnosed and treated yearly in overseas refugees and
immigrants prior to their arrival in the United States, saving the U.S. $15$25
million yearly.

Safety Modernization Act.
$12 million increase over FY 2012 level for the National Healthcare Safety Network to extend
