Well, it appears that the Honorable Reverend Jesse Jackson, Sr. may pay Mr. Duncan's medical bills. He's in Dallas lamenting over the fact that Eric Duncan is uninsured, and that his treatment is costing approximately $1,000 per hour.

Scolding questioners, the Liberian foreign minister says that this is not the time to discuss who's gonna pay!

It's interesting that the missionaries who returned home last month to be treated for Ebola had group insurance, with a $25,000 deductible. Ouch!

Its not just the treatment cost. Presby is getting hammered over sending him home. Their reputation is destroyed. It is going to take years to recover.

I heard today (a Scientist on NPRadio) that Ebola is even resistant to sewage treatment plant processes. Is Dallas adding extra chlorine, or something, to the process? This virus needs to be eradicated 100%, since the medicine is not approved by ObamaCare.

Sadly, they just announced the patient has passed away.
