WTF is it the responsibility for private organizations to fund basic health care in other countries?
That is the responsibility of nation states like the USA to help other countries with basic health care like preventing Ebola so it doesn't arrive on their shores.
Except since all single single digit people stopped having Ebola in the USA, the news decides that people in other countries dying like flies didn't matter so all pressure on Congress to do anything stopped entirely and they went home for their many weeks of vacation.
The 2015 Congress most certainly won't fund a damn thing. It's just not as sexy to them as dropping million dollar bombs on people.

- briandear 12y agoWhen is it the responsibility of the United States? Isn't it the responsibility of the affected countries to mind their own store? After seeing what happened to rice shipments in Somalia, something could be said for the value of a bomb. Personally, I prefer Bono's approach -- develop markets so countries can afford to help themselves.
