-First Case of Highly Drug-Resistant TB Found in US - ABC News
His treatment cost Florida taxpayers an estimated $500,000, a price tag medical director Ashkin says seems like an astronomical amount to spend on someone who's not an American citizen. But he questions how the world can afford not to treat Juarez and others sick with similar lethal strains.
"This is an airborne spread disease ... so when we treat that individual, we're actually treating and protecting all of us," he said. "This is true homeland security."

That's what is most disgusting about the entire situation. If not for the fact that people keep coming here and bringing their fkg diseases with them....... Read somewhere that most of the new AIDS patients are immigrants also....and of course, once here and very sick, they also end up at the public trough. I don't know how many of the old sanitariums and mental institutions are still standing....but, maybe they should be renovated and ready. Read somewhere that 1 in 110 kids are now affected with autism .... At some point, there probably won't be enough knowledgeable professionals to give basic care even...in this WORLD we're now a reluctant part of. Watching the civil uprisings in Iraq....and it's probably a snapshot of our own future...since the same kind of problems will eventually occur with the importation of radical groups and our own government in support of the process. Hope hell has a lot of space and they all go there.
