The Obama administration is making a big health care mistake. I’m not talking about the final push for comprehensive reform legislation, which is righteous and necessary. I mean the sale of more than 100,000 contaminated trailers and mobile homes—a move that could make people sick.
The trailers are a legacy of the Bush administration’s botched response to Hurricane Katrina. They were purchased by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as temporary housing for displaced Gulf Coast residents, but some people who moved into them reported burning eyes, irritated throats, headaches and nosebleeds.

There is nothing good about any of this, if people are living there and they are getting sick....
So selling them to the public and passing the buck to someone else is the new american way!
