Subject: First Ebola Patient to Die in U.S. had no Health Care Insurance at First Visit to Dallas Hospital

According to AP reporter information provided to MSNBC, Thomas Eric Duncan, 42, had no health insurance at the time that he sought medical treatment for all Ebola like symptoms ... despite having a recorded fever of 103 and having provided related personnel information that he had just arrived on a flight from Africa. Medical records provided by the family to the AP, indicate that Mr. Duncan was sent home with some instructions relative to taking Tylenol, a general pain and cold medication available across most any retail counter.

Treatment available to Thomas Eric on his own, via his extended family and friends. MSNBC further notes that only when returning patient T.E. Duncan came back to the same hospital was he tested for any Ebola related illness.

Nonetheless, when a local Dallas sheriff asked for a medical checkup when his temperature logged in at just 101.5 ... any & all routine Ebola testing was done on his behalf. Excluding hindsight, the comparison here is clearly black & white. Noting that the GOP's pre-election position is against allowing any of the current 30-million plus un-insured citizens from obtaining health care. Their solution now centers around tax-credits in 2017, where you buy health insurance coverage from a high-priced private health insurance corporation on your own. Meaning using your minimum wage based income, or your unequal gender wages, or what ever those next GOP health care writers decide that you will, or will not, be allowed to have or to buy with their version 'Santa Claus health care insurance coverage.
