The State Department has quietly made plans to bring Ebola-infected doctors and medical aides to the U.S. for treatment, according to an internal department document that argued the only way to get other countries to send medical teams to West Africa is to promise that the U.S. will be the world’s medical backstop.

In the memo, officials say their preference is for patients go to Europe, but there are some cases in which the U.S. is “the logical treatment destination for non-citizens.”

The document has been shared with Congress, where lawmakers already are nervous about the administration’s handling of the Ebola outbreak. The memo even details the expected price per patient, with transportation costs at $200,000 and treatment at $300,000.

Perfect.  We may soon be importing Ebola victims into the US.

Further: Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has now decreed troops returning to the US from Ebola-ridden countries will undergo a 21-day quarantine.

Despite the fact that doctors and nurses returning to the US are objecting to quarantine and threatening to sue to eradicate said quarantine.

A bit odd and hypocritical, perhaps?
