Health Reform in an Era of Pandemics: Toward Comprehensive Health Security
Julio Frenk, Dean, Harvard University School of Public Health; Former Minister of Health, Mexico; Former Executive Director for Policy, World Health Organization
When pandemic H1N1 “swine flu” broke out this spring, Frenk was in the thick of discussions by the Mexican government, the World Health Organization and governments and organizations worldwide in his roles as the current dean at Harvard School of Public Health and the former minister of health in Mexico. In Mexico, he also oversaw the design and implementation of a successful reform to achieve universal health insurance by covering more than 50 million uninsured persons. The reform also established a new public health agency and strengthened epidemiological surveillance with the aim of protecting the population against health threats. These experiences enable Frenk to provide a unique perspective on the lessons he believes the United States can learn from other countries about health reform, universal health care and the ever-present threat pandemics pose to health and economies.

http://www.pbs.org/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/ Other rich countries have universal health care. Why don’t we? FRONTLINE travels to five countries in search of a universal health care system that could work in the U.S. in “Sick Around the World,” coming April 15 to PBS and online at
http://www.pbs.org/frontline/sickaroundtheworld/
FRONTLINE teams up with T.R. Reid, a veteran foreign correspondent for “The Washington Post,” to find out how five other capitalist democracies–United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Taiwan and Switzerland–deliver health care and what the United States might learn from their successes and their failures. In “Sick Around the World,” airing Tuesday, April 15, 2008, at 9 P.M. ET on PBS (check local listings), Reid turns up remarkable differences in how these countries handle health care–from Japan, where a night in a hospital can cost as little as $10, to Switzerland, where the president of the country tells Reid it would be a “huge scandal” if someone were to go bankrupt from medical bills.
The $1 Trillion global IMF banker and international business scam for the European elite. Even more significant is the increased power given to the international financial institutions, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, who have been subcontracted by the G20 to monitor and run many of their policies.
IMF managing director Dominique Strauss Kahn was jubilant after the meeting, saying that the IMF “is now truly back.”
The IMF’s image had been tarnished during the Asian financial crisis and, until the current crisis came to a head, there had been fears that the organisation was losing its relevance.
Mr Strauss-Kahn was particularly enthusiastic about the plan for the IMF to issue $250bn worth of its own currency, the SDR, saying this was the first step on the IMF issuing its own liquity as well as being a lender of last resort – the two key functions of a world central bank.
The IMF will also be made more representative, with China and India getting a bigger say, and its top job opened to all comers, not just Europeans, in the future.
This is an argument against nationalizing health care and specifically a reaction to a video from Newsish on that issue. It attempts to refute his arguments and prove that nationalizing health care solves nothing. It is one of the first in a series of videos dedicated to saving the world.

Friday, 6 Nov 2009 – The dollar will get “utterly destroyed” and become “virtually worthless”, said Damon Vickers, chief investment officer of Nine Points Capital Partners. Due to the huge wage disparities between the United States and emerging markets like China, Vickers said that may resolve itself in some type of a global currency crisis.
“If the global currency crisis unfolds, then inevitably you get an alignment of a global world government. A new global currency and a new world order, so we may be moving towards that,” he said.
