On Health Care: Ebola: suspend air travel between the U.S. and West Africa

During the rest of the hour-long debate, the moderators quizzed the candidates about their positions on issues ranging from farm policy to the Ebola outbreak to immigration. In a rare moment of agreement, both candidates said they would suspend air travel between the U.S. and West Africa as a way to stop more Ebola cases from coming to the U.S. But Orman accused Roberts of "inappropriate" tough talk against Ebola because he skipped a hearing on the crisis when he was in Washington last month. "The hearing was held out session," Roberts said. "Nothing of substance came of it." Source: CBS News on 2014 Georgia Senate debate Oct 15, 2014
