Duncan came here knowing we have a stupid law that says everyone ( even non-citizens ) must get health care at hospital ERs. We are the laughingstock of the world.
WASHINGTON, October 9 (RIA Novosti) – The final medical bill for a Liberian native who was the first person to test positive for Ebola in the United States could range from $250,000 to as much as $500,000, a Washington D.C. health think tank analyst told RIA Novosti.
“It’s hard for hospitals to deal with these kinds of outlier situations,” said Dan Mendelson, the Chief Executive Officer of Avalere Health. “In the case of Ebola, there are the treatment costs, but also the costs of security, isolation.”
It is still not clear if the Dallas hospital will charge Duncan, and if they decide to do so, who will pay for it.
