FEMA throws roadblocks at Charity and University Hospitals.
Louisiana State University, administrators of the two large hospitals, estimate that repairs to Charity would cost $258 million.

FEMA has offered the public hospital system run by LSU only $23 million for damage to the basement and the electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems of Big Charity.

LSU has not accepted, and asked FEMA to explain how it planned to do an overall assessment. At this point FEMA has no timeline for completing its overal assessment.
