U.S., World: Haiti’s most in-need patients can’t go to the U.S. anymore
- Florida stands ready to assist our neighbors in Haiti, but we need a plan of action and reimbursement for the care we are providing.
- Florida Gov. Charlie Crist’s spokesperson, Sterling Ivey • Regarding the governor’s push for the U.S. to end airlifts from Haiti due to the fact they’re not getting paid. These airlifts, which were for critically-injured patients, were costing the Florida government millions – and they weren’t even the only state doing them! The military claims they ended the airlifts because the hospitals stopped accepting patients. This is bad all around. source
