FW: [roadsigns] MDs urge acceptance of Cuba offerFrom: David Werner 

PHM should know about this and raise hell.  

 It is a shame that our leaders so facilely put their political agenda before human life  --  even of their own citizens!  
  A prominent U.S. medical group voiced
  "deep concern" over delays in health care and epidemic prevention  reaching Katrina victims, and urged U.S. authorities to accept Cuba's offer of  1586 disaster-trained physicians to prevent a "second wave of sickness and  death."
       Latest reports indicate the U.S. State Department is backing away  from the offer, implying they are not needed.
