Fixed it.
Obamacare may hold the key to saving the U.S. from recovery of civilization.
Obamacare has made my healthcare significantly more expensive, not less so!
Bob Beckel said there was going to be an October Surprise and it involves National Security!!! And an Ebola outbreak is indeed a National Security item....PLUS Obamacare!
Well, can’t have a bankrupting visit to the hospital as medical debt is no longer discharged in bankruptcy. And many can’t afford the high premiums involved in Pelosi/Obama Care plans. Not to mention the much higher copays and decidables.
But let’s pretend that we live in a liberal utopia.. That all these costs are somehow covered. There are a total of 900,000 hospital beds in the US, only 2000 would meet basic isolation standards as defined by the CDC.
If an infected person has contact with 100 people and just 5% develop the disease, those beds, nationwide, fill up very quickly. You’ll have flights to fill up infection wards, including Alaska and Hawaii. But wait, we’ve got troops in the h hotzone for Ebola. Cut out a quarter of those beds right there.
Might be those who catch it early have the best chance of survival before our care system is overwhelmed.
“Obamacare may hold the key to saving the U.S. from Ebola”
Well, in that case, we’re completely fuched for sure.
Do you put your own health at the complete ‘mercy’ of some bureaucrats then?
Or do you think you belong to the privileged class and will get special treatment?
Has he figured in the fact that most doctors hate Obamacare and a large majority of them might just bow out and quit instead of seeing possible ebola patients.
I’m just waiting, if Ebola does start to spread in the US, for Obama to come out and say: “If you like your mortician, you can keep your mortician, period”.
so much stupid, so little time...
You forgot the BARK alert
What an incredibly stupid and self-serving article. No hospital would ever turn away a suspected Ebola patient for lack of funds. It would be a matter of public health. Not money.
The goberment will kill us by bringing the disease into the country and then save us with lots of free body bags and burials. Homeland Insecurity is all ready to go.
