Do they get the tee shirt sale rights too?
I don’t get it. Why pay anything?
Excellent. So the family will begin paying for his treatment?
What will the two nurses get for almost dying For him?
So not only do they get a million dollars worth of medical services written off (I presume) but they are being paid cash by the hospital? Where can I get me some Ebola?
Did they trademark his name yet?
That's the ticket!
Oh my gawd....run them back to Afrika
Affirmative action extortion money.
The hospital, by giving in to the extortion, only made it more difficult for the next victim of this sort of shakedown.
Instead of reaching a settlement, the family should have been sued for the hospital bill. Then booted out of the country.
If the liar from Liberia didn’t mention specifically that he had been in Liberia and been thrown up on by a woman who died the same day of Ebola, I’m not sure why the liar’s family would deserve anything. If his report was limited to a vague “traveled to Africa” and no mention of exposure, when he knew better, his death was his own fault. I wouldn’t even give them a free t-shirt or a pen with the hospital name and address.
We need to stop settling with parasites and make the greedy trial lawyers work for the money they want to steal. Fighting evil, even in its petty forms, is worth the effort.
fine let the hospital pay for not admitting the liar when they first should have, now lets all file a class action suit against the family for ten times that for lying and knowingly importing biohazardous material into the united states(terrorism?) without proper biohazard safety procedures.
Nothing to say. It’s too disgusting.

Why shouuld there be any ‘settlement’? He received approximately $500K of care. How about settling that?
I’m no lawyer, but what legal grounds did those people have for a suit? The guy lied to get on a plane, lied after he got off the plane, probably lied at the hospital the first time, endangered the lives of a number of medical personnel and other people-including two nurses who contracted the disease he died of, etc, etc.
I hope both of those nurses he infected sue Duncan’s family until every dime of that settlement is gone, and then some-this is rewarding bad behavior by that family...
Extortion. White Guilt. Disgusting.
They probably got a goat, 10 chickens and enough chicken feed to last a month. Sheesh... They’re from Africa where having a hole to pi** in is a luxury. Don’t worry about the hospital, they probably got the deal of a life time.
“We’ll give you all the free coffee you can drink and...” Kramer... “I’ll take it!”
So he LIES to come here, exposes hundreds of innocent victims to the disease he LIED about, infects two nurses, gets treatment subsidized by the very ones whom he wronged, AND THE HOSPITAL IS AT FAULT?????????????
Only in Obama’s America!
If the hospital had advocated euthanasia and killed the dude outright, they would have “humane” heros... No chance of “botching” the killing.
