NYT: Cost dispute halts airlift of Haiti victims - The New York Times- msnbc.com

I will never understand the methods and methodology of the human animal. That one arm of the federal government does not have control of itself and the many arms it has granted itself has been evident for some time. That is manifests itself at such a critical time is really a sad state of affairs.

Squabbles of this type can be sorted out later. I understand the position of the state of Florida, but lives are more important than money and many of these hospitals are not state hospitals. They are for profit. They should be contacting the Red Cross and other agencies who are benefiting from the largesse of the American public for recompense.

In the meantime, the airlifting of critical patients must continue and the idiot who ordered it stopped, because of some poorly passed information should be removed from his/her position for not checking for more accurate information. How stupid was that?
