[quote=Anonymous]This is going to come off as incredibly callous and I'm sorry about that, but I'm genuinely curious about whether this dude's health insurance is picking up the tab? The cost for care has to be in the tens of thousands per day--never mind the expense of a double-isolation helicopter, ambulance, etc. Or does the CDC cover the cost (via the US taxpayers, I guess?) because they offered to take the case? Some insurers would probably balk at covering something like this, although it would probably be a legal nightmare in light of the public nature of the case. I understand an insurer's obligation to provide medical care for citizens who incur injury while traveling abroad, but it seems nuts to voluntarily enter a high-risk, disease-ridden area and contract a deadly illness and then put everyone else on the hook for your care.[/quote]
