I would certainly hope that here going forward if a patient shows up saying he is from Africa and he is vomiting and he has diarrhea, that you wouldn't say, 'Well, we don't have the lab results in yet,' you would start treating that person like they had Ebola.
DeGette emphasizes the need for immediate action when patients show Ebola symptoms.

I feel like my message is getting out to the voters: fighting against Donald Trump, fighting for Medicare For All, and against ICE, and that’s what they care about.
This is shameful! People have suffered enough from these violent ICE agents. This rogue agency must be abolished, not given more ways to hurt our neighbors and terrorize our communities.
The government should never have the right to use health insurance coverage as a targeted weapon, should never deliberately strip certain people of the freedom to make their own medical decisions.
If I could pass Medicare-for-All unilaterally in the minority, I would do it, because I’m an original co-sponsor of that bill. But the frustration people are feeling is with the whole system.
