Salons Joan Walsh: No Accident Ebola Victim Was In Rick Perrys Texas (Daily Caller) - Apparently, the NRA isnt the only one to blame for the Ebola crisis. Salon editor and professional troll Joan Walsh wonders if Republican Texas Governor Rick Perry doesnt share some of the blame, at least when it comes to the death of victim Thomas Eric Duncan.
Its probably no accident, either, that it happened in Rick Perrys Texas. More than 1.5 million Texans, with a median income of $833, are going uninsured because Perry rejected Medicaid funding. Medicaid wouldnt have helped Duncan, but it might help someone exposed to him. Right now Youngor Jallah, the woman who got Duncan to the hospital when his symptoms worsened, says she doesnt have Medicaid or any health insurance.

It certainly takes chutzpah to suggest that it was no accident a tragic death in Perrys Texas because he rejected Medicaid expansion, only to admit in the very next sentence that Duncan wouldnt have been helped by Medicaid (which isnt available to non-citizens).
Walsh also went out of her way to inject a racial element into the story. She quotes Democratic Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price as saying, The real elephant in the room is, the man was black, he had no insurance, and therefore he was basically turned away.
