Responding to growing calls to appoint an “Ebola Czar” to lead America’s battle against the deadly virus, sources confirm to Fox News that President Obama plans to name Ron Klain, a longtime political hand with no apparent medical or health care background. “Appointed by our President Barack Obama is former White House official Ron Klain to coordinate the U.S. government’s response to the Ebola outbreak, an administration official said on Friday.  He is an attorney, comes to the job with strong management credentials, extensive federal government experience overseeing complex operations and good working relationships with leading members of Congress, as well as senior Obama administration officials, including the president,” the official said to fox news.com. What is a czar?  This word by definition, is any person exercising great authority or power in a particular field.  This man has no medical background, not even a license as an M.D. just working as even a general practitioner in a clinic, who does understand all diseases in general.  Wouldn’t you want someone with some type of medical background in charge since he carries the role in giving primary guidance on health issues to our President, which helps him in making the final direction we should take in America regarding health issues withespecially those that can become an epidemic.  If this czar makes the wrong presumption and our President agrees this could be a problem for our country’s future health.   This decision he makes is for all people who are citizens in America and even visitors in the country regarding what is best for them in protecting their health the best way possible.?  I would be concerned with this man only due to his lack of any medical background since the job entails decision making on health issues that regards our safety and future. Isn’t this bizarre to you or at least don’t you question why this man is not a MD or biologist or scientist or something in science research? I could understand if our President gave this role to Mr. Ron Klain with a science major as a doctor, biologist, scientist or someone with a lot of disease research knowledge experience working with him but so far no one in media or the President himself has not mentioned that this is the case.  You already have officials mentioning this concern with the media with no one else defending or favoring the czar decision by our President.  We don’t even have a Surgeon General in place.  The President of the United States chooses who the Surgeon General will be and our President has still not made a decision who takes on this role at this present time. The Surgeon General is the operational head of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned in the federal government and thus the leading spokesperson on matter of public heath in the federal government of the U.S. for 4 years, when hired.  This person reports to the Assistant Secretary of Health, who may be a 4 star general in the United States Public Health Service, Commissioned Corps. and who serves as the PRINCIPLE advisor to the secretary of heath and scientific issues but we don’t have one chosen yet by our President.  Such a vital position for our country to be safe regarding American citizens health on a daily basis.   Is this decision by our President logical for protecting and keeping health in the U.S. safe?  Is this logical? Rep. Bill Johnson stated on CNN today “I am not going to question the President” with hesitancy but yet states he has “concerns” he stated in wondering “why he has no science or medical background”. Do you not have confidence in the CDC? he was asked by CNN today this morning and he even responded  “Absolutely not, and the CDC found this out in March but we have no resolution yet.  They don’t know how this spread went to 2 coworkers in the same hospital.” Do you feel safe?  I am concerned. Do you find this scary living in the U.S.?  I have my concerns not that I am moving out of the country or locking myself  up in my house, like a paranoia case but this situation means we need to CONTAIN this situation with proper PREVENTION of this disease before ever becoming an epidemic. Go under comment and give your opinion; your thoughts matter especially if  America is your home and even if you visit the U.S.  We have 2 RN’s already in hospitals with this and one person deceased in America that did visit Africa coming home to the U.S. with this terrible virus.  Remember the hospital follows CDC in rules and regulations they make which goes national.  Is our government doing enough.  The CDC website in http://www.cdc.gov/.

Today Saturday10/18/14 on CNN.com interviewed was Maria Cordona, asked what do you think about this situation?  She responded “This is just a way to pick on the President and it’s a good idea to have someone who knows how to run a campaign.”  What intelligence to you see in that reply that deals with the “Ebola Czar”, a possible health epidemic.

Now Amy Holmes  interviewed also on CNN.com asked about her opinion; she responded “This is not the best choice, you have a man with no health background and he is involved in the health of others.”  She also stated “There were other choicex for the President that were more suitable for this job.”  So the gist of it was she felt that a experienced medical professional would be the most intelligent choice.

What is your opinion?
