Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for imported Ebola cases

Created by J.Z. on November 03, 2014

If we are going to be allowing cases of Ebola to enter the U.S., by non-U.S. citizens, the health care costs shouldn't be the U.S. taxpayers' responsibility. Costs should go to the patient receiving the care, the patients' home country, paid for through private donations or by the hospitals treating such patients. Example: If Australia or China won't help in W.Africa unless we agree to take care of any infected patients, then they must pay the costs, not taxpayers. Please take care of our elderly and our veterans first, which has been promised, but not done. Thank You.
