Prescribing Medicare for All; Immigration: Exploiting the Politics of Resentment

As Jan. 31st Deadline for Open Enrollment Under ObamaCare Looms, Doctor Finds Better Prescription Medicare for All with Dr. Donald E. Moore, MD, MPH; President, Medical Society of the County of Kings; Board Member, Physicians for a National Health Program, N.Y. Metro Chapter While millions of Americans now scrambling to re-enroll in health insurance programs under the Affordable Care Act are frustrated by the limitations of the private insurance marketplace, Dr. Moore, while noting the gains made under OmamaCare sees it's defects play out in his efforts to provide good medical care to patients. In addition to often increasing out of pocket expenses,the insurance companies dictate which specialists he can refer patients to and he is pressured to shorten patient visits and bill them more. In response he has in effect gone single payer, or advocates Medicare for all, refusing to work with private insurers and now mainly accepting patients under Medicare and Medicaid. He is urging all doctors to join the movement for Medicare for All (Single Payer) to reform the health care system based on inefficent private health care insurance with its high administrative overhead and profit margins. He has joined with other doctors in the Physicians for a National Health Program in lobbying the NYS Legislature to institute a Single Payer System in NYS, or Medicare for all, and the NYS Assembly recently overwhelming passed such a bill. ***** The Presidential Candidates On Immigration: Exploiting the Politics of Resentment with Oscar Chacon, Executive Director, Alianza Americas When New York billionaire and GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump launched into his anti-immigrant tirade against Mexicans crossing the border, he was using a long known political technique of plugging into the live wire of American resentment of the other " most recently Latinos; more precisely, those from the Southern borders: Mexicans, Salvadorans, Guatemalans, Hondurans, and the like. And, no doubt the recent tragedies in France will be exploited to promote a new wave of fear and antagonism towards immigrants and migrants of Arab descent. But, since the 19th century, politicians have used currents of fear, often fueled by economic downturns for the working class to crank up movements against those who came from abroad. Oscar Chacon discusses how US immigration policy is rooted in a narrative that paints immigrants as a criminal threat to order and progress and that the political dilemma extends across party lines and is threaded through the positions of all the Presidential candidates to some degree. Given that underlying assumption Chacon discusses how US immigration policy can truly be fixed, which he contends depends on how quickly and effectively organized immigrant communities "and those who wish to make common cause with them "can build the political muscle necessary to ensure that their needs and demands can be neither co-opted nor ignored.

Bulletin Board Nov. 23

1. Targeting Burundi: Western states dismiss Burundi's voice supporting President Nkuruniza. This is an internal matter that should be out of bounds for London, Paris and the US who do not want a Hutu popular president. Focus now is taking down the Burundi economy by implementing travel restrictions and freezing assets (much like what Cuba has suffered for over half a century). 2. Syria/Russia/Western Interference: Phil Taylor notes that Russia has Syria's permission to fight ISIS in Syria, and Syria is a sovereign country. British, Americans and French operate as though International law and UN do not matter; however, after turning a no-fly zone in Libya into a NATO fly zone destroying Libya, they lost some of their unearned credibility. 3. UN Third Committee Plenary Session November 19 vote on combating the glorification of Nazism and Neo-Nazism and Other Practices that Contribute to the Fueling of Contemporary Forms of Racism and Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance. Vote was: 126 YES, 4 NO (US, Canada, Ukraine and tiny US controlled Palau) and 53 abstentions.

Genocide, Regime Change, Embargoes: Western Tools for Global Totalitarianism

Frederic Nzeyimana describes the little known reality of the genocide against the Burundi Hutu in 1972. Over 300,000 men, women and children were annihilated. Nzeyimana and Phil Taylor highlight the similarities of the demographic and political components of Burundi and Rwanda. This connects to the assassination of three Hutu Burundian presidents -- in 1972, October 21 of 1993 and April of 1994 when Kagame/RPF shot down the plane carrying Burundian Hutu President Cyhprien Ntaryamir and Rwandan Hutu President Juvenal Habyarimana. Nzeyiman and Taylor discuss the role of the Arusha Agreement setting the standards for the Burundi elections. Standards were met, and Burundi then implemented Constitutional law which superseded the Arusha Agreement and allowed President Nkurunziza to run in a second popular election (the first five years were by Parliamentarian appointment and not part of the two term limit.) President Nkurunziza and the People stood strong against the violent Rwanda based coupsters, who were supported by Western media manipulating public opinion. Nzeyimana is very clear that people need to know that Burundi has 129 municipalities and that only 4 or 5 of the municipalities had any kind of militant and/or violent protests. The foreign media created an illusion that the attempted coup against President Nkurunziza was widespread.

Turkish Follies, NATO-Russia Standoff, and the Fate of Syria

In the wake of the shooting down of a Russian jet, the Global Research News Hour examines the dynamics unfolding around Syria, including the prospect of a military siege. Christopher Black is a Toronto-based international criminal lawyer. He speaks to the questions surrounding the shoot down of the Russian aircraft, what the motives behind it were, and what it means in the wider geopolitical context. Tim Anderson is a Senior Lecturer of Political Economy at the University of Sydney. He is the author of an Upcoming book entitled "The Dirty War on Syria." Anderson argues that the Islamic State fighters have full backing from the US and its allies, that media and human rights NGOs are part of the propaganda campaign demonizing Assad and misleading the world about the true author of the humanitarian atrocities taking place in Syria, and how the Kurds and other players are influencing the situation.

Confidentiality harms U.S. Steel solution

Steelworkers are fighting to save the pensions they are owed, but the confidentiality agreement between the previous government and US Steel makes it hard. Newly elected MP Scott Duvall explains the ongoing struggle to retain the pension commitments in the face of companies that try to shirk their obligations by using bankruptcy protection. Why don't the pensioners come first?
