He continued, “In a study of the health of American children, found new facts that children in America are not as healthy as expected,” Braveman said. In these studies show how large numbers of health conditions optimal child from a wealthy family or high-income parents.

“The study also focuses on poverty as one of the causes of poor health conditions in children,” said Steffie Woolhandler professor at the Harvard medical school.

“Anakanak health condition increases with the increase in parental income,” says Braveman. “Children in poor families and with low education levels generally have poor health conditions.

Another factor affecting the health condition of children is the mother’s education.

This is the greatest distance in under five mortality rate based on how many years the mother get an education.

In addition, the value of infant mortality in each state has exceeded the tolerable value, where value has been set nationally is 3.2 deaths per thousand.

“Generally, they (the children) ear disease, asthma, respiratory allergies and backwardness,” said Egerter. “Kids are easier to get a lot of health problems than other children.”

The same health differences were also seen in children of middle-class. Egerter stated that his health condition closer to one-half times as much as the children from high-income parents.

A system would not work without the human resources (HR) capable of handling it. Without good skills from them, the company set goals will never be reached.

The CEOs in Asia Pacific to realize that leadership and talent development becomes the main key, and should be focused as a long-term investment. Based on Pricewaterhouse-Coopers survey which was announced in February, 75 percent of Asia Pacific CEOs acknowledge this. As the crisis engulfing the world, CEOs and even look to invest in improving human resources remains important.

Approximately 50 percent of CEOs still express a desire to increase the number of employees in the next 12 months, only 16 percent who intend to reduce the number of employees. Yet at the same time a majority (84 percent) chose their CEO for efficient use of funds. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers Chairman Jusuf Wibisono Indonesia, the crisis is giving lessons to strengthen corporate organizations to strengthen the one in which the quality of human resources.

In addition to investing in additional employees, the company also spent funds to improve the quality of existing human resources. There were 47 percent of CEOs who will change the training and development programs to prepare their employees to meet the economic revival that will happen. For the CEO, the company is not only the responsibility of the owners and leaders, but also employees.

Involve employees become important. Some CEOs even going to increase employee salaries in order to enhance the quality of work. President and CEO of Avery Dennison Corporation Dean A Scarborough for example, says, one of the investment that continues to do is improve the quality of employees.

His company was investing in hiring and training people in new areas and training skills. However, he admitted at the same time the company to restructure and reduce the existing workforce. Scarborough seems to be doing some improvements to the existing human resources. CEO of Garuda Indonesia Emirsyah Satar said, the existence of employees will always be important to the company.

The more qualified human resources available to ensure the quality of the company. According to him, let alone in a situation that is very tight competition, even in ordinary circumstances the human resources quality improvement should be made permanent. Improving the quality of human resources must be managed in a very good job to improve the quality of the company. “We did increase employee continuously. Existing system of strong human development at the Garuda, which not only increases employee in terms of quantity, but also the quality, “said Emirsyah.

Employees are those who interact with many parties. Not only interact in the company’s internal, but also with customers who use the services or products produced by the company.

Quality firms can also be seen from the quality of existing human resources within the company. Especially if the company is engaged in services related directly to the consumer in the service. One company that is associated with insurance services. In addition to moving the financial planning, insurance companies are also very intense interaction with customers or potential customers.

No wonder the CEO of WellPoint Inc., the leading company providing health insurance based in the United States, Angela F Braly said that the existence of qualified personnel is essential for the development of the company. According to him, as the company is projected to be a leader in the industry changes, Braly said the company needed people who feel comfortable with the changes and ready to be part of the changes that came into the health care industry.

At the same time, the level of expertise they need to increase. The goal is to have a very involved relationship with members of their insurance, so there is intense communication between the human resources available in the WellPoint and members of their handle. Every human should be sensitive to the possibilities existing health at each of its members.

Also provide information quickly and accurately match the needs of members. “From our association, the perspective is more satisfactory to have the kind of information that is associated with members. But it requires different skills, so we WellPoint ensure that people come to us with the skills or through our training program, “Braly said when asked Pricewaterhouse Coopers survey team recognition of the importance of quality human resources also come from the Chief Executive Director of Lafarge Group, Bruno Lafont said that HR is central to Lafarge industry. According to him, the existence of absolute quality human resources to achieve long-term goals.

“While we’re strong on diversity, we are determined to improve further and to develop new talents throughout our region. Moreover, we must continue recruitment in developing countries, “said Lafont.

There is no single company that override the need for the existence of human resources quality. The crisis is even more convinced they will need it. Not surprisingly, most of them continue to invest in improving human resources. Moreover, CEOs’ expectations of increased regional growth.

WASHINGTON – President of the United States (U.S.) Barack Obama finally signed a draft bill of health service reform became law (Act), yesterday. Obama signed the Act on health services in the East Room of the White House at 11:15 o’clock local time (23:15 GMT), yesterday.

By signing it, Obama passed legislation to reform the health service sector valued at $ 2, 5 trillion. Kegembiraaan still covered the White House for the Democratic Party’s success.

“I never saw the president was delighted at something, than his family, as far as I knew him and worked with him,” said Axelrod.

Obama on Thursday (25 / 3) will launch the upcoming first event in a series of campaign-style event to welcome the victory in the U.S. Congress. The event was held in Iowa, the state that started the path to the White House.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat justify steps to streamline the draft health reform.

“You try hard to bipartisan if you can. If you find any common ground, that’s good. If you can not find common ground, you must be gradual in your attitude,” he said on television.

Meanwhile, the Republicans did not stay silent. After losing fight in Congress to thwart the draft, the Republic will take the fight to the state level and the courts to block implementation of the Act which requires most Americans to buy health insurance or pay a fine.

12 state attorney general filed the constitutional plan for a federal mandate after Obama signed the draft becomes law. The state of Idaho and Virginia have approved a law which prevents its citizens are forced to buy insurance.

A similar law has been proposed in 36 other states. Observers rate this Republican move has little chance to succeed. But still, that Republican efforts to help heat up the political situation ahead of elections (elections) interrupted.

Republican hopes in the mid-term elections that they can win seats in the Democratic-controlled yangkini local level, state, and federal. Constitution clearly states the federal government the right to reject the lawsuit states. That means, that the state step “irrelevant.”

The lawsuit about whether the federal government can require people to buy health insurance, seems to be submitted to the Supreme Court (MA).

“Their goal was to make part of this issue remains alive until the November mid-term elections,” said Michael Martinez, a professor of political science at the University of Florida.

Martinez explained, Republic of intentionally spreading the impression that makes people buy health insurance or pay a fine, looks like limiting freedom.

Republicans angry because the legalization of the Act warned, they may be less interested anymore to work with Democrats on other issues such as climate change legislation and immigration reform.

“Democratic leaders may have forgotten their vote. They may have forgotten their victory. But today is a new day. I have a message for Democratic friends we: Enough is enough,” said Senate Minority Leader Republican Mitch McConnell.

Former opponent Mr Obama in the presidential election from the Republican, Senator John McCain also said that there will be no cooperation (bipartisan) until the rest of the end of this year.

Mathematically it is impossible if the Republic wanted to beat two-thirds majority of Democrats in the House and Senate, to reject Obama’s policies. Because the Republican plan was to take another way out of parliament.

Democrats also welcomed the Republican challenge to fight in the next issues. “We went out and did not just talk about what we do, but also what the opposition Republican,” said Obama’s former campaign manager, David Plouffe
