Remember the last time someone was treated for Ebola in the US? A nurse gave him antibiotics and sent him home... where he died. The US just isn't equipped or trained to handle Ebola.

Putting the burden of treating Americans on African countries after ending USAID and its funding for international Ebola treatment efforts in those same countries (as briefly mentioned in the article) seems like a cruel slap in the face from this administration.
The USA, similar to other nations, is extremely well equipped to treat Ebola patients once they have been diagnosed. Doctors just don't expect it because it is so rare.
