A Republican lawmaker claims the real reason the Obama administration is opposing a travel ban for Ebola-stricken African countries is that U.S. officials are concerned about hurting their economies -- a dollars-and-cents reason, the lawmaker says, doesnt make much sense. Rep. Tim Murphy, R-Pa., whose House subcommittee held a high-profile hearing Thursday on the Ebola virus, told Fox News that Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Tom Frieden is the one who gave him that explanation. He explained to me ... the concern was that these are fledgling democracies and if we put a travel ban that that may affect their economy and harm them, Murphy said. foxnews/politics/2014/10/16/top-texas-hospital-official-to-apologize-for-ebola-response/
