Ann Coulter Slams ‘Free Medical Treatment’ for U.S. Ebola Patients

http://www.mediaite.com/online/ann-coulter-slams-free-medical-treatment-for-american-ebola-patients/

In her syndicated column this week, conservative commentator Ann Coulter blasted the U.S. government’s response to the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa and the few cases in the United States.

She criticized CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden‘s reasoning for not stopping flights to and from affected nations in West Africa, and compared the government’s current position with its actions over the summer when the FAA issued a travel ban to Israel during the height of the latest conflict in Gaza....

She also accused the CDC of wanting infected Africans to “come here and infect Americans” and said President Obama “doesn’t want to protect Americans.”

In addition, she expressed anger at the fact that Ebola patients are essentially receiving free medical care in America (emphasis added):

from Mr Duncan, which he wouldn't have had, would the hospital have turned him away? Think of the hell hole this last point would have created.

Just have the Ebola patient say something idiotic then they have payed their bill for treatment. They would then be on equal footing with Sarah Palin, Louie Gohmert, Michele Bachmann, Sean Hannity, Billo, Fox News, Republicans in Congress, Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter.
