 T he gulf between politicians and scientists over

Ebola is widening as the nation’s top infectious-dis-

ease expert warned that mandatory quarantining

of medical workers returning from West Africa is

unnecessary, while Gov. Chris Christie contended

it’s needed to protect the public.

“The best way to protect us is to stop the epidemic in Afri-

ca, and we need those health care workers, so we do not want

to put them in a position where it makes it very, very uncom-

fortable for them to even volunteer to go,” Dr. Anthony Fauci,

director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious

Diseases, said Sunday.

Meanwhile, Kaci Hickox, the first nurse forcibly quaran-

tined in New Jersey under the state’s new policy, said in a

The state requires health insurance plans to coverall of those services, unlike many other states. Overall,according to a new study by researchers at the Univer-

sity of Pennsylvania, New Jersey’s basic plans areamong the most comprehensive in the U.S.
