Maybe it can fall under sick pay at the company? The hospital pays it. The hospital probably makes a fortune somehow treating the patients. If they voluntarily travel to parts of Africa to help treat patients then I’m not sure. I assume that is coordinated with government efforts.
@Coloma So, if someone does the same work, helping Ebola patients, but they happen to have money in the bank they aren’t entitled to the “Ebola benefit” from the government, because they saved better, or their spouse makes a good salary? I disagree with that. They did the same work.
@jerv The bank money is being paid back to the government. During tarp banks were almost forced to take the money even when they didn’t need it. The bank my husband worked for wound up having to take it when they didn’t need it. His bank paid the entire amount back a few years ago. Who really pays is the customers in the end who are getting shitty returns on their money and bank fees are more and more ridiculous.
