The greatest impediment to persuading other countries to send medical teams to the Ebola-afflicted countries in West Africa has been the lack of assured medical evacuation and treatment for responders who may be infected with Ebola virus."
why is it an issue if other countries take action or not?
quote:
other countries are hesitant to send health care professionals to West Africa without assurances that they will have proper medical evacuation and treatment should they become infected.
again, who cares?

That part is self-explanatory.
again, they can choose to do whatever they want. can you point me to the part in the CONSTITUTION where the actions or inactions of other countries in rendering aid to treat foreign nationals has any bearing on a US response?
tia.

cases where the United States will be the logical treatment destination for non-citizens... employees and contractors of US agencies and programs, NGOs and private firms based in the US, UN staff permanently employed at the UN..."
Why would be the logical treatment place for non US citizens? how is that even fricking reasonable?

We're already the World's Police, why not be the Worlds EMT's?
What makes no sense is the memo states that we will treat Non-Citizens who would not be able to receive proper medical care in their own country. If their country is so poor, how are they going to be able to afford to pay the 500k per transported/treated individual?

This is progressivism taken to its most extreme and unreasonable end. We can't close travel to the Ebola Mecca of West Africa because it would be unjust, we can't quarantine health care workers returning from directly dealing with Ebola patients, because then other countries may not want to send their health care workers to West Africa. It is the theory that the U.S. must decline to take any reasonable steps to insulate itself from the Ebola virus because of what may or may not happen to West Africa.
