8 BBC Brasil/ - Notícias, Qui, 28 de Junho de 2012 CLIPPING INTERNACIONAL (Suprema Corte de Justicia) Suprema Corte dá aval à polêmica reforma de saúde de Obama Pablo Uchoa Da BBC Brasil em Washington Em um julgamento histórico, a Suprema Corte americana confirmou nesta quinta-feira a validade da reforma de saúde aprovada em 2010 pelo governo do presidente Barack Obama considerada o maior legado dos quatro anos de seu mandato. Por cinco votos a quatro, os nove juízes ampararam o ponto mais polêmico da reforma, o chamado mandato individual, que obriga todo americano a comprar plano de saúde a partir de 2014, se já não o tiver através de seu empregador ou de um dos programas do governo. Estima-se que 30 milhões de pessoas estão nesta situação. A penalidade será uma multa, que os juízes consideraram estar dentro dos poderes do Congresso estabelecer com base em sua prerrogativas de estabelecer impostos. O governo diz que a obrigatoriedade traz mais gente para dentro do sistema e barateia os custos. O candidato republicano à Casa Branca nas eleições de novembro, Mitt Romney, diz que vai repelir a lei no seu primeiro dia de trabalho, se for eleito. Com a espinha dorsal da lei mantida, os juízes não viram necessidade de derrubar o resto da legislação de páginas, que, entre outras coisas, eleva para 26 anos a idade em que jovens podem permanecer cobertos pelo plano de saúde de seus pais. A lei elimina ainda a possibilidade de alguém ser rejeitado por doença prévia e aumenta o gasto, de fato, dos operadores de planos na saúde dos seus clientes. A lei cria uma espécie de bolsa de seguros no quais as empresas podem oferecer seus produtos a preços competitivos, e expande a cobertura do programa público de saúde conhecido como Medicaid. Reações Mal a decisão foi anunciada, partidários da lei reunidos em frente ao Supremo, em Washington, comemoraram com música, dança e palavras de ordem. Reações começaram a pipocar nas caixas de mensagem dos jornalistas, com s que iam de organizações de esquerda considerando o resultado um golpe duro contra o movimento de direita Tea Party, a grupos conservadores do Tea Party enxergando na Obamacare (um trocadilho pejorativo com o termo health care, ou cuidados da saúde) uma demonstração clara das tendências socialistas do presidente. Apesar de a proposta de lei ter sido concebido por uma organização conservadora em 1989, a lei foi aprovada no Congresso em 2010 sem receber sequer um só voto republicano. A lei gerou reações viscerais de parte da sociedade, que viu na legislação uma interferência sem precedentes do Estado na vida dos cidadãos. E utilizou rapidamente grande parte do capital político de Obama, eleito dois anos antes sob a plataforma da mudança. Partidários da reforma da saúde a consideram o maior legado do presidente. Com a decisão de hoje, a Suprema Corte reafirmou um princípio fundamental: que aqui na América, na nação mais rica do mundo, nenhum problema de saúde leve à ruína financeira de uma família, disse Obama em pronunciamento. Já o candidato republicano à Casa Branca, Mitt Romney, disse que a lei coloca o governo entre você e o seu médico e prometeu reverter o projeto se for eleito. O que a Corte não fez no seu último dia de trabalho, vou fazer no meu primeiro dia na Casa Branca: repelir e substituir a Obamacare, disse Romney. Justiça e economia Analistas têm indicado que, para a indústria da saúde que movimenta US$ 2,7 trilhões ou o equivalente a 17,9% da economia americana a decisão remove uma grande interrogação em relação ao seu funcionamento e aos custos do futuro. O resultado só foi possível depois que o juiz conservador John Roberts, cuja indicação em 2005 pelo ex-presidente George W. Bush foi criticada pelo então senador Barack Obama, cruzou as linhas 8

Os juízes consideraram que a promotoria não conseguiu provar que Karadzic ordenou para forças sérvias os assassinatos, expulsões e perseguições de muçulmanos e croatas em localidades bósnias. Mas o tribunal manteve a segunda acusação de genocídio por seu envolvimento no massacre de cerca de oito mil homens e garotos muçulmanos na cidade de Srebrenica em Os juízes disseram que muitas das alegações de Karadzic de que não sabia o que ocorria foram desmentidas pelas evidências. O julgamento prossegue em outubro. 10

A corte rejeitou o argumento de que a lei seria abusiva por pedir que todos os americanos paguem por planos de saúde, ou os obtenha por meio do seu empregador a partir de Correspondentes dizem que a decisão judicial é uma grande vitória para Obama. 11

20 Bizjournais/ - News, Qui, 28 de Junho de 2012 CLIPPING INTERNACIONAL (Supreme Court) Supreme Court Ruling on Affordable Care Act Huge Victory for People with HIV/AIDS SAN FRANCISCO, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today the United States Supreme Court delivered a huge victory to nationwide efforts to establish a health care system that works for everyone, including the 1.2 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. By upholding the Affordable Care Act (ACA), today"s decision delivers on the promise of health care for more than 30 million uninsured Americans. The historic ruling also upheld long-overdue protections for people with HIV and other chronic diseases, including safeguards against denial of coverage or exorbitant premiums for the especially sick, and annual and lifetime coverage limits for people with costly medical conditions."for the first time in the history of the epidemic, the ACA will dramatically expand health care access to people previously considered "uninsurable," including millions of Americans with HIV/AIDS and other serious illness," said Neil Giuliano, CEO of San Francisco AIDS Foundation. "Today, we move one step closer to having a health care system that supports access to care and treatment that prevent illness and disease progression, rather than a "sick care system" that promotes disability and illness by limiting coverage options."the Affordable Care Act will address the failings of the current health care system by expanding Medicaid to all low-income people, creating open, competitive, fair marketplaces for uninsured and underinsured individuals and families to purchase private insurance, and providing subsidies to lower-income individuals to make insurance affordable. An estimated 1.2 million people are living with HIV in the United States and need access to high-quality, uninterrupted medical care to stay healthy, reduce new HIV infections, and cut long-term health care costs. "While today"s ruling is a huge victory, there"s no time for rest. We must continue our efforts to educate people affected by HIV about the key components of the ACA and how it will affect access to quality HIV prevention, care, and treatment," said Courtney Mulhern-Pearson, director of state and local affairs at San Francisco AIDS Foundation. "It is critically important that all Americans have accurate information about the law, how it will benefit them, and what it means for their health and the health of their communities."with today"s historic decision, San Francisco AIDS Foundation will redouble its efforts to ensure that health care reform implementation proceeds full steam ahead. The foundation urges Congress to acknowledge that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land by fully funding health care reform and ending efforts to repeal it. Progress must not be held hostage by politics."today"s decision underscores the importance of continued funding of the Ryan White CARE Act during this time of transition to health care reform," said Ernest Hopkins, director of legislative affairs at San Francisco AIDS Foundation. "In order to effectively transition clients and fully realize the promise of health care reform, we must continue our work with elected officials, policy makers, and peer organizations to secure the future of the Ryan White CARE Act."About San Francisco AIDS FoundationNo city experienced epidemic levels of HIV faster than San Francisco.
