Consequences Of A Fake Id In Ontario

> Less than charges for the most fragile


Since January 1, many families are discovering that the cost of transportation of disabled persons from their homes to the center where they receive care are now paid less. Until now supported by Medicare, these expenses are now integrated into a new device: the provision of disability compensation (PCH). Only problem: it is capped at 200 euros per month while only taxi fares can sometimes be much higher when the disability requires multiple treatment sessions per week, and especially in our district where specialized infrastructure are not necessarily very close.

While this change is not a surprise: it appears in full in a decree issued in February 2007, prior to the election of Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysee. The current government is only responsible for its implementation. Aware of the difficulties it was a working group led by the Directorate General of Social Action. But for now, work it stalled.

hard not to draw parallels between the decisions taken at the turn of a decree, almost in the sly, without prior consultation and the response to the least distressing of the prosecution following the death of a patient who died Sunday December 28 in Paris after the futile search for a bed in intensive care in hospitals in the Ile-de-France: "If we had found a place, it would not have changed things (...). There had little chance of saving him. " Than humanity ! Also difficult not to compare this management purely accounting, health care wishes of Nicolas Sarkozy, saying, Dec. 31, he would leave "not only more vulnerable to struggle in the worst difficulties."

France discovers that she has not (more?) Means what she thinks he should do for sicker, older, disabled, most vulnerable. We can not deny that 1000 euros per month taxi fares charged to the community is enormous. This adds to the cost of palliative care at the medical innovations of all kinds, increasing the amount of pension due to longer of life ... The choices are painful when they are done in silence ... And with no guarantee of fairness ...

What Medicare savings should not be disputed. It is even a question of survival of the device. That this requires efforts at all, including perhaps the families of disabled people, can be discussed. But mechanical application of decisions such heavy consequences for some of the poorest of the French is not acceptable. And keep the evening of New Year wishes about so quickly contradicted by the facts may discredit a little more political talk. That's probably the biggest criticism that can make the system Sarkozy: the contradictions between what is promised and what can actually be held in a country in crisis, where the average decrease. We should have the courage to tell the truth simply and honestly. This means recognizing the limits of political action. The truth is expensive, but less than the illusion maintained ...
