On November 4, Obama had met with Congress to ask for $6.2 billion to go to emergency funds to help stop Ebola at it's source and stop the possible spread of it in the United States. The plan goes like this, $2 billion would be selected for the United States Agency for International Development, $2.4 billion would go to the Department of Health & Human Services and more than $1.5 billion would go to a contingency fund. $4.64 billion would be going into immediate spending to build up the public health in the United States. fight against the disease in West Africa, and quicken the development and testing of cures and other remedies. This money would also aid defenseless foreign countries respond to Ebola. The issue at hand is that Obama wants to stop the potential spread of Ebola into the United States.
I feel like this could be a very successful plan, but at the same time it's not. Obama's going to face challenges with reassuring the public that although Ebola is a difficult disease to contract inside the United States, stopping the disease at the primary source is top priority.
