FOX News obtained a State Department memo detailing the Obama Administration’s plans on transferring non-citizen African Ebola patients to the United States for treatment.

** The plan will cost American taxpayers approximately $300,000 per patient.
–Not including the $2,000 to MEDEVAC the patients to America.

House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) told reporters about the memo on Monday. The White House denied it existed. Today FOX News obtained a copy of the memo.

Just gonna cherry pick the low hanging fruit here, but there's no way it's $2k to airlift someone in those conditions. Maybe $20k

There will be a tipping point when liberals realize giving resources (we don't have) away to illegal immigrants and foreign countries cuts into their handouts and subsidies.

the memo has the GOVERNMENT estimates.

A roundtrip ticket to Ghana itself will run you 2k, not to mention being in a freaking bubble. Easily over 10k.

Not sure. I'm too busy enjoying my $2500 savings from Obamacare

Getting a madivac transport 20 miles away in NJ probably runs $10K.

Where does the authority to spend taxpayer money to benefit foreign individuals come from? Where in the appropriations of government spending is the money coming from? I seriously doubt Congress approved spending money in this manner.

Seriously, why would he want to bring them here? Isn't that why he sent the 101st over there? To build containment units to treat them there?

It's a memo recommending that a plan be developed and enumerating the considerations, including cost. DoS would be remiss if it were not preparing contingency plans. Your hysteria is laughable.

Not to mention that he opposes common sense measures to prevent overpopulation of pets, like dog condoms.
