So says a top doctor and former FDA scientist:

How many? No one knows. But there are rumors of a second case already:

And let's be frank: Potential Ebola carriers, such as this patient in Texas, bear a degree of culpability for the spread of the disease. According to some reports, the patient apparently did not mention his travel history nor the possibility of Ebola when he first came to the hospital. What's up with that?

Update: Now the story is that the patient did mention his travel history and maybe even the possibility of Ebola, but that the hospital released him anyway. Does that sound to you like they were prepared? Hopefully now that this has made the national news, US hospitals will wake up and get serious about Ebola.
