After failing for months to prepare the U.S. for the eventual arrival of Ebola, the federal government and, in particular, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are scrambling to put a plan in place, now that a third person in the country has been diagnosed with the disease.

Only, as so often happens, costly new federal requirements are being imposed on private industry — hospitals in this case — which could end up harming the very institutions necessary to treat and control the deadly disease.

According to PJ Media’s PJ Tattler, during a recent appearance on Fox News, patient advocate Dr. Betsy McCaughey, a health policy expert, former Lt. Governor of New York state and constitutional scholar, said after a conference call with hospitals sponsored by the CDC that the agency’s requirements to prepare for Ebola would likely bankrupt several of them.

Host Stuart Varney asked McCaughey what it might take to prepare 50 hospitals to treat Ebola; she said that, after the CDC outlined the agency’s preparation strategy, one hospital administrator responded, “What you’re telling us would bankrupt my hospital!” McCaughey went on to say that the hospital administrator represented a Southern California facility.
