Federal disaster planners have temporarily halted flights bringing Haiti's earthquake victims to hospitals in Florida, local and state officials said Thursday. The need to be ready for a mass emergency or disaster at the Super Bowl or Pro Bowl played a part in the decision, as did the fact that South Florida hospitals were getting "saturated" with evacuees and that disaster planners had no specific plan for handling the injured at other hospitals, officials said. The situation "came to a head" Wednesday night, when the state officially requested that federal officials stop sending medical flights to Florida until a plan was presented, said John Cherry, a spokesman for the state Division of Emergency Management.

Don't worry RT. We will help their sick and injured, rebuild their infrastructure, as well as their government, so that they can blame us for everything anyway. We are the U.S.A. that's what we do!
You want fags to have rights because they are US citizens but you don't think the US should help the people of the world when horrific nature calamities occur? wow... I think that Florida is doing what they can but I don't believe it was poor planning, the Super Bowl has been planned for years, the earthquake in Haiti...not so much.
I think the US should start worrying about ITS HOMELESS, ITS POOR, ITS HUNGRY, its unstable economic situation. We have zero buisness worrying about and giving money to any other country.
Mike, it's a natural disaster not the economy....when the west coast got nailed by that earthquake we got help and money from a lot of other countries of the world, it's people of one planet helping each other I hate that some people look at it as them against us, it's sad.
its a dog eat dog world and we need to take care of our own everyone has their on view on it obviously
well remember that when a natural disaster hits your area and make sure you put up a sign in your yard that says "unless it's US aide, I don't want the help"...It's only a dog eat dog world because you choose to eat dogs...
its a dog eat dog world because thats how it works if a storm destroys my town today, Ill be left to figure out how to survive on my own, or what funds i have in the bank. no other country is going to relocate me and my family to rebuild our lives and get assistance.
Diffrence between you and them is you dont have to worry about if you have enough to eat tommorow to not die. They dont have the options we have as americans there. Its very selfish way of thinking. There is ways people can get help in this country there is the salvation army theres homeless shelters and other orginizations that help the poor in this country. When something happens to a place like hati where it was already filled with poverty before the disaster it would be wrong to not help. Its not just the US helping them alot of countrys are doing what they can.
the assistance the US gives to its homeless population is shameful compared to what its giving Haiti.
