Here's the real lesson of the Ebola crisis [View all]

If we have to have a global economy, then we have to have global infrastructure that supports that economy with healthcare being a priority item. EVERY nation on the planet needs to have up-to-code healthcare facilities. Proper healthcare standards need to be enforced every where. It's not enough to have them only in developed nations.

We cannot put the globalization genie back into the bottle. Businesses and laborers go all over the world. A contagious disease any where can become a contagious disease every where.

Hopefully, Americans are finally understanding why healthcare should be a basic part of our infrastructure that we should all pay for and support, not some benefit sparingly doled out by corporations.
