Is this just another hospital, or is it one of the special facilities with all the extra safeguards like the one Dr. Brantly was in?

As more of these pop up, somethings gonna give.

One of the people interviewed on Fox News said that there were 10,000 people per day flying out of there. He gave no sources or qualifications.

And who picks up the tab for this world-class health care?

Don't worry. With 0bamaCare, it is now free.

I haven’t heard anything, but I haven’t seen much news today at all. Been busy, and just trying to catch up a little before heading to bed.
