Ron Klain named "Ebola Czar"

This past Thursday, President Barack Obama named Ron Klain as his "Czar of Ebola". The President liked the idea of having one leader coordinate the response to the disease.  "It may make sense for us to have one person ... so that after this initial surge of activity, we can have a more regular process just to make sure that we're crossing all the T's and dotting all the I's going forward," Obama said. Klain is said to be a good manager with great relationships with administration; however he has no background at all in healthcare. Some incumbents want to elimate any travel to and from West Africa. Currently Klain is the President of an investment group known as Case Holdings and the general cousel of Revolution. He will most likely shift his attention to the prevention of a possible Ebola outbreak.
