Fox obtains State Department documents showing details of the plan to bring non-U.S. patients into the country. The channel doesn’t say what stage the plan is at or how likely it is to be implemented but says the document has been seen by Undersecretary Kennedy. Reporter:

The report says the cost is estimated to be at least $500,000 per patient including multiple nurses and other healthcare workers:
