Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price and the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.have made similar arguments this week that Thomas Duncan, the first patient diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, died because his race and lack of “privilege” kept him from receiving the care he needed.
“It is historical what has happened in this community,” said Mr. Price, who is black. “If a person who looks like me shows up without any insurance, they don’t get the same treatment.”
Federal and state authorities said they are considering a full investigation into Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, where Duncan was being treated,a local CBS affiliate reported. The hospital has received criticism for initially turning the patient away and failing to screen for Ebola when he was experiencing Ebola-like symptoms.
Mr. Jackson echoed similar sentiments about privilege in a Tuesday blog entry for The Huffington Post.
“What role did [Duncan‘s] lack of privilege play in the treatment he received? He is being treated as a criminal rather than as a patient,” he wrote. “As followers of Jesus, we are called to work for the day when those with privilege, most often white people, have greater access to better medical care than those whom Jesus calls ‘the least of our sisters and brothers.’”

Yes folks. Jesse Jackson claiming there is a "proper vaccine" for Ebola. While the left wing drones just agree like the morons they are. Do not worry though, cause the left (get this) are more worried about "the global warming" than they are of an infectious disease being unleashed in our society. Not to worry. The president has reassured us that Ebola is unlikely to get here, and there is no need to stop flights from the region. Really, do not worry. The government is on the case and certainly has our best interest. They would never play politics with such a crucial issue.
Yeah, the democrats would never play politics with this issue would they? They are not that big of scumbags are they? Well, they are claiming that the republicans are to blame due to the sequester two years ago, that was Obama's idea. But, hey....state the same lie over and over and ........you know the rest.
