US Senators Discuss Funding for Anti-Ebola Efforts Members of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee have questioned the country's top health officials on what needs to be done to protect Americans from a virus that has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa and threatens to spread to other continents. President Barack Obama has asked Congress for an additional $6 billion to fight Ebola at its source.
