Has anyone bothered to tally the cost for this failed effort to save the man's life?
Has anyone asked who is going to pay for it?
It may be true that prior budget cuts have hurt the CDC and NIH, but how much would it have cost to issue a travel ban? Maybe a couple hundred dollars? Maybe a couple thousand?
Obama ad-Dajjal and his minions always have an excuse for why nothing is ever their fault. Are you still going to accept that when you're bleeding out of your eyeballs?
By the way, all of you who continue to blame everything on Bush should consider this:
Ironically, it was George W. Bushmeat government’s bio-terrorist anthrax and flu paranoia in the wake of 9/11 that injected a lot of money into America’s epidemiology protection layers. If not for those paranoid billions, I kid you not, G-d help us.

Update: The cost of each Ebola patient must include disposal of anything they contaminate, inside and outside the hospital. According to this report, the Dallas patient generated six truckloads of waste, and that does not include waste generated inside the hospital:
It has been reported that six truckloads of potential Ebola contaminated material collected from the apartment where the Dallas Ebola victim became ill were brought to Port Arthur, Texas on Friday to be processed at the Veolia Environmental Services incinerator. From there the incinerated material is slated to be transported to a hazardous waste landfill in Louisiana for final disposal.
