U.S. PUBLIC HEALTH THREAT

How many out there remember when you had to carry a health card with you to go abroad or to enter the United States?

Right now we have people infected with tuberculosis, middle eastern MERS, Asian bird flu, measles, polio and one not so glamorous, whooping cough a whole variety of other diseases nearly extinct in the U.S.

Illegal and legal come into America by the 10's of thousands everyday, unchecked with every thing from AIDS, to syphilis, to small pox to Spanish Influenza. 

We have no check on these people who come from areas where these disease are again entering the population and we require no info as to whether they are vaccinated against any of these killer diseases.

Can we wonder if the Saudi Arabian who came to Florida with the deadly MERS knew he had it and came here to be treated?
