The drastic restructuring will hurt the ability of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) to respond to health crises, including one current gripping the Lone Star State, said U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a San Antonio Democrat.
