It's not just politics. It's the greedy insurance companies and the cuts to federal reimbursement (which I guess is indirectly politically controlled). It is also the mistreatment, year after year, of nurses (via staffing protocols- or lack thereof)- and the complacency that has resulted from this. "And the Band Played On" is the name of the book, if memory serves. One or two cases of Ebola will be handled, but get up to 100 or more, and WHAMMO- our health system shall be overwhelmed. Let's all say a prayer right now, that this plague stays mostly in Africa.
