  • Since the early 1990s, institutions such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have required state-owned hospitals and clinics in Third World countries to be privatized before loans are considered. Many times those formerly state-owned and -run hospitals were purchased by U.S. and European insurance companies that then introduced U.S. models of managed care, even though the history of healthcare in those countries was vastly different from the systems that had developed in the United States.

  • V. P. of Ghana joins US Doctors for Africa

    Has recent news relating to U.S. Doctors for Africa. Particularly interesting is the section about the VP of Ghana joining. Ghana is one country highly affected by the "brain drain" in Africa, and they are very active in trying to find a solution, but they still have a huge healthcare problem.

    This video explains one "grassroots" solution to the healthcare crisis in Africa called "U.S. Doctors for Africa. The video comes from a meeting and has a lot of other stuff, but the important part is the explanation of how U. S. Doctors for Africa planned/plans to make a difference.

      The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines poverty according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Why aren't thier numbers matching. Health and Human Services has a lower dollar amount per family household than the Vensus Bureau. I think they are assuming that the average American works at minium wage and that is not the case. The only information that matches is that poverty was not even considered until the Civil Rights movement.

      The U.S. Census Bureau defines poverty as as the size of the family unit and the dollar amount. If we look at the current trends, the U.S. Census Bureau recommendations is that a family of four is considered in a state of poverty if one person is working and bringing in less than 21,134. What's wrong with that picture? Is this assuming that a person is making above minium wage? The Global statistic says that 3 billion people live on less than two dollars a day.

    On the political side of global warming, nearly all Democrats realize that global warming is, in fact, a real problem while their counterpart Republicans deny this reality. According to the article, "In the United States, a February 2007 survey found that 95% of the 41 Congressional Democrats surveyed agreed 'it's been proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Earth is warming because of man-made problems' while only 13% of the 31 Republicans surveyed agreed." And, although the U.S. has not ratified the Kyoto Protocol, 195 U.S. cities have pledged to reduce carbon emissions.
