33. The private sector will take care of Ebola

The 1% fall to infectious disease too. Look at the famous wealthy people that died in the 80s from Aids. It is the sane reason we promote things like national health care and a national education system. We all benefit from having a healthy populace with the ability to react to infectious disease and just like we all benefit from a well educated populace. Republican policies put everyone in danger even the 1%. That is the humor of it all.
