This afternoon, officials held a press conference on Ebola at the White House. It was about as reassuring as you’d expect from any White House presser. Which is to say, not really very reassuring at all:

He must be referring to that “robust government-sponsored health care system” ThinkProgress was so excited about.

Right now, officials say screening for Ebola patients most effective in the source countries in West Africa, than on arrival in US.

Fauci says US has "well-established" facilities to handle and respond to cases of Ebola. "Our structure would preclude an outbreak."

Monaco tells @MajorCBS that screening air travelers in West Africa are effective in stopping Ebola passengers from leaving.

— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) October 3, 2014

Fauci goes even further: says US health care system “would make it extraordinarily unlikely that we would have an outbreak" in the US.

So, who feels better now?

The US has the ability to contain Ebola, but can't build a website that doesn't crash. Gotcha.

Sorry if I don't have faith in the govt to contain ebola. Maybe the pessimism stems from how much they screw everything else up. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

— Matthew (@Matthops82) October 3, 2014

ISIS is a JV squad. You can keep your plan if you like it. Detroit is thriving. We should totes believe that govt has ebola under control.

Can you imagine if Kathleen "404 Care" Sebelius were up there saying, "no worries, we got this"?

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
