You don’t get the big stories unless you chase down all the leads but sometimes that can produce some hilarious results.

New scapegoat for Ebola (Hint: It begins with ‘N’ and ends with ‘RA’)

http://twitter.com/#!/HunterHSpoon/status/517693324518756353

The Ebola outbreak has already been blamed on “climate change,” and you might be able to guess who’s next in line for scapegoating:

Ebola in the US and according to @CeasefireUSA that means you should be outraged at the #NRA. https://t.co/G0A7Tlf0mp

— CamEdwards (@CamEdwards) October 2, 2014

Really? According to States United to Prevent Gun Violence, yes:

Ebola now in the US. Surgeon General should be leading the way on public health education but NRA stalled nomination. No outrage?

— States United (@CeasefireUSA) October 2, 2014

One way to keep Ebola contained is to get outraged at the NRA? We’ll have to check with the CDC on that one.

So far there isn’t much outrage, but there is plenty of mockery:

@ceasefireusa Ebola's the NRA's fault? Hahahahahaha! Thanks for the belly laught!

— Michael Kent (@MichaelMKent) October 2, 2014

@CeasefireUSA This tweet is a total crock of shit. You Liberals will undercut your own family members if need be. Unbelievable.

— Butch Man (@Browns_Fan1995) October 2, 2014

@CeasefireUSA You shouldn't be smoking that.

— Become The Media (@maxomai) October 2, 2014

@CamEdwards @CeasefireUSA Damn you @NRA I stubbed my toe this morning & it's all your fault!! LMBO #CeasefireUSARmorons

Ebola is another note the reason why health care bills expenditures is a diverse community effective, maybe not a product become deeply in love with no-cost market: http://t.co/ZCyA5FKPgm

— igorvolsky (@igorvolsky) October 1, 2014

Let’s provide him a chance to clarify, hmmm?

And think of Obamacare, laws Republicans wanted to defund? Also is playing strive to avoid an epidemic. Research suggests that individuals simply who can be lacking health care insurance hold-off or miss healthcare solutions or substitute home cures or more the countertop medications for medical practitioner visits that may determine steering clear of the scatter of communicable disease. Those that have making use of system required interest are less oftimes be prone to problem, causing improvements face-to-face and community energy.

Recommendations also establishes an avoidance and Public wellness Fund proclaiming available you issue and community regulating figures with extra resources which will help “prevent, detect, and solution problem outbreaks” and contains programs which might be “leveraged to include readiness into everyday healthcare expenses and also to assist produce stronger system and crisis medical care expenses circulation methods that’ll surge to answer catastrophes.”

Basically, Us americans appears safeguarded that Ebola will be within the us because we’ve establish a durable federal government funded medical care costs system that, in collaboration because of the special organization, shields everybody from a domestic location health tragedy. Any wellness crisis functions as a reminder exactly why healthcare is a public great instead of a unique product become obsessed with relation to the no-cost marketplace.

Obamacare was indeed built to fight ebola. In addition, We benefit ThinkProgress and eat-all the glue. https://t.co/y9HuCUWzhc
