Notice how they are not bringing them to the NIH. Wonder why?
NIH only has one bed for Ebola patients.
Even more reason to bring non-residents here to treat/NIH only has one bed for Ebola patients.
They have two
There is no policy of the U.S. government to allow entry of non-U.S. citizen Ebola-infected to the United States. There is no consideration in the State Department of changing that policy, the official said.
Another official said the department is considering using American aircraft equipped to handle Ebola cases to transport noncitizens to other countries.
We have discussed allowing other countries to use our medevac capabilities to evacuate their own citizens to their home countries or third-countries, subject to reimbursement and availability, the second department official said.

This discussion is amazing, for lack of a better word. Someone posts an article saying that the benefits of bringing non-US-citizens with ebola to the US to treat had been discussed. And rejected, for whatever reasons. And that there are no plans to even discuss it again.
To quote:
And the discussion here ignores all of that, and proceeds as if it was approved, embraced, and is being implemented even as we speak. And raises all kinds of alarms, hysteria, and hand-wringing.
Simply amazing.
It is amazing to me that they would even consider spending close to a million dollars per patient and endanger American lives.
Simply amazing.
If you had read the article, you would see that there are legit reasons that it may have made sense to consider. Quid pro quo stuff, humanitarian thinking, and forward thinking in trying to win the fight against a killer.
Not saying those were better than the reasons to say no. But anyone who sees a problem in discussing the options, before making a decision, is nuts. What would be alarming would be to have a government that didn't even examine and discuss things from all angles, and if they're getting heat for having looked closely at the pros and cons, that's bass-ackwards.
And the idea that their discussion somehow was consideration of a plan to "endanger American lives"? Gimme a break.
And obviously they were not considering (if they ever were considering it) bringing in hundreds of patients. Just select few. We don't even have capacity for many patients.
They brought in US citizens that got Ebola and cured all of them so far. Why would non-citizens be any more endangering than citizens?
