POTUS has issued memorandum which protects companies from LAWSUITS arising from EBOLA.
President Barack Obama issued a memorandum Thursday protects federal contractors hired to address the Ebola outbreak in West Africa against lawsuits for importing Ebola into the United States.

...

In other words, if a Company A employee contracts Ebola while working in West Africa, brings the disease back to the United States, is not quarantined and ends up infecting members of the general public, Company A is protected from any damages arising from lawsuits by these secondary victims.

According to the USAID spokesperson, employees of these contracted companies "provide essential services, including medical and non-medical management of Ebola patients."

"In his memorandum, Obama justified his actions by citing Public Law 85-804, which allows the president to give any federal agency or department connected to national security the authority to enter into, amend or modify contracts with private companies in order to “facilitate the national defense.”

How long before hospitals can't be sued for misdiagnoses?

Yeah, he put the lid on that quickly after the settlement with Duncan's family.

This is exactly why our "EbolaCzar" is a LAWYER, and not a DOCTOR.

Thanks, but I was hoping for a link which showed that hospitals can longer be sued.

That link just shows Duncan's family sued and reached a settlement?

Maybe the POTUS is working on changing the law in regards to hospitals?

It seems the Duncan family settled because Texas prevents them from getting anywhere in a court case.

Strict Texas law makes Ebola lawsuits unlikely

There was another thread, but it seems to be from the same source and not a lot of additional info:

Thread: RED ALERT - Obama Granting IMMUNITY to whomever spreads Ebola - Victims CANNOT sue..

I'm not entirely sure what you're seeking, maybe the existing law used to issue the memorandum?
