You think that's bad?  Try this line....

"A September 16, 2005 CNN article about Chalmette Medical Center stated, "Doctors eager to help sick and injured evacuees were handed mops by federal officials who expressed concern about legal liability... And so they mopped, while people died around them."^[35]"

Why did they turn down free help?

Because when Fema takes over... there is no room for private help anymore.  All aid must go through Fema first... and if Fema either doesn't want it, or can't process all the help, it gets delayed, or turned away.

As I said, why don't you guys try to push for some reformes?

There really isn't any way to reform it.  I don't think the US is particularly unique in this.

Could push for dergulation I guess.
