Since the stakes are so incredibly high with a confirmed Ebola diagnosis, it might seem insensitive to attempt to put a price tag on the treatment. As we’ve seen with the other Ebola patients in the U.S., Amber Vinson, Nina Pham and Craig Spencer, early intervention and aggressive treatment are the difference between life and death.
