As we bring more Ebola patients into the country we increase the risk that the virus will escape into the wild and find a natural reservoir in which to hide, emerging from time to time, to cause outbreaks. If this is Obala’s intention it would be easier just to import African fruitbats.

Not to mention that any ER that accepts an ebola patient will probably have to completely shut down, putting Americans health and lives in danger.

I agree. The money is of secondary importance, what matters is that more hosts are being brought in and, inevitably, more people here will get infected.

Best to cordon off the affected/infected countries and let it burn out. Help them with aid, to be sure, but protect ourselves first.
