Jobless Benefits for Millions to End in January- Unemployment
August 29, 2010 - 3:36 pm
About one million laid-off workers will see their unemployment benefits end in January unless Congress acts quickly to renew existing federally paid extensions, according to a new survey and legislators and state officials.

The record extension of emergency benefits that was signed into law on Nov. 6 was widely praised as a lifeline for hundreds of thousands of Americans who had spent a year or more in fruitless searches for jobs.
The new law provided up to 14 weeks of federally paid aid to unemployed people who had exhausted existing state and federal limits, benefits that already lasted up to 79 weeks in many states. And for the majority of states with particularly high unemployment, it added six more weeks of payments, bringing the potential total to 99 weeks.
But many legislators, state aid officials and struggling workers apparently failed to read the fine print. The added federal benefits were built on a series of previous extensions that are slated to end on Dec. 31, unless Congress renews these programs. People who lost their jobs after July 1 of this year, for example, would receive no federal extensions once their customary six months of state aid ran out.
While discussions have started, Congress is not yet considering a specific proposal. And unless it acts before the Christmas break, officials warn, the extensions will end. If Congress, now caught up in the health care overhaul, delays action until next year, millions would face gaps in aid that many thought would be automatic.
There are six people looking for every available job, and these payments are enabling people to pay their mortgages and put food on the table, said Representative Jim McDermott, Democrat of Washington, who championed the Nov. 6 law and hopes to light a new fire under Congress.

FRONTLINE | “Sick Around the World” Coming April 15 | PBS
August 29, 2010 - 3:22 pm
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.

Obama health reforms and British NHS health service
August 29, 2010 - 2:49 pm
Please excuse the brief foray into international health politics, but as an NHS doctor I listen with fascination to the debate. Our British NHS system isn’t perfect but it does provide universal coverage, and saved both my parents’ lives 4 times in all, at no cost to them at the point of need.
I don’t know exactly what Obama has in mind, but it seems from here that US health costs are rising uncontainably while leaving many citizens without affordable cover, and something needs to be done. ‘Freedom to choose’ is just a meaningless slogan if you honestly can’t pay, and any of us could be hit by some disease beyond our means through no fault of our own. Collective action may sometimes be the best way to secure good for the individual, that’s what I mean by co-operativist socialism (not to be confused with Marxist socialism).
It sounds to me like US citizens are getting their fears played upon by vested interests. Your health care system costs the most but does not provide universal coverage, I think you could probably do better for yourselves, but, hey its your choice. Choose wisely.
My friend Dr Philip Clarke did some vuluntary work in a project in NYC distributing time expired food to destitute street people. There were the usual alcohoilcs and drug addicts standing in the welfare line but also poor elderly peole who had to meet the full cost of their prescription medicines, which drained their budget so they had to beg for food. This shocked him. Prescriptions are free for all over 60s in Britain, we do this and provide universal coverage on around half of the US per capita health spend.
Sure, there are down sides to whatever health system, state, corporate or private, but be careful you aren’t being manipulated by vested interests.
