...the early '60s when the Philippine medical association introduced the maria project which prioritized aid to communities in need of medical assistance. The project would then be considered a valuable precursor to the Medicare program, from which a medical care plan for the entire Philippines was created. On august 4, 1969, republic act 6111 or the Philippine medical care act of 1969 was signed by President Ferdinand e. Marcos which was eventually implemented in august 1971. The Philippine medical care commission (pmcc) was tasked to oversee the implementation of the program which went for almost a quarter of a century. In the 1990s, a vision for a better, more responsive government health care program was prompted by the passage of several bills that had significant implications on health financing. The public's clamor for a health insurance that is more comprehensive in terms of covered population and benefits led to the development of house bill 14225 and senate bill 01738 which became the national health insurance act of 1995 or republic act 7875, signed by President Fidel v. Ramos on February 14, 1995. The law paved the way for the creation of the Philippine health insurance corporation (Phil health), mandated to provide social health insurance coverage to all Filipinos in 15 years' time.

This way the two health care designs would be in similar; which makes it easier to compare the two. The other country that I decided to do was the Philippines. They have a democratic government like the U.S. In the Philippines the health care system consists of Medical Center in Alabang, the Asian Hospital, the Makati Medical Center, the Medical City in Ortigas, and St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City. Additionally, there are also doctors that have practiced medicine in the US before sharing their knowledge in the Philippines. If you are in the Philippines and you are trying to find a hospital then, that wouldn’t be very hard for you to do. They have many hospitals; whether that they be private and/ or public. This means it will be very easy for a person to get help no matter where they live and/ or what type of how much insurance they have. This can be one of the most helpful things that they have in their health care, well at least one of the best things for the people that actually have insurance. Even though all of the things that they have that involve hospitals are mostly...

...PhilHealth premium increase is one of the hot issues today in the Philippines. The agency tries to increase the annual premium that is paid by the members of this agency, including those self-employed individuals and individual-paying overseas workers. It is said that from the annual premium P1200, Philhealth will increase it to P2400. This circular aims to add more benefits to its clients and members. The agency’s mission is to provide financial assistance to Filipinos in terms of health services through the National Health Insurance Program (B. Garcia, January 16, 2012). In addition, in line with this circular, this will be helpful in the attainment of one of the Millennium Development Goal health targets (Banzon, 2011). However, if this will be implemented, the increase in the annual premium will be an additional burden to those overseas workers, and we can claim that some workers who do not earn much cannot afford this 100 per cent increase. In addition, the Philhealth did not consult those affected members in regards to their circular. And according to Senator Pimentel, there are various groups that oppose this increase in their contributions since the agency had a lack of consultation and discussion to the PhilHealth members, especially the overseas workers (Tamayo, February 25, 2012). Furthermore, not all overseas workers can actually get these health benefits since they already have health insurances abroad that are given by the agency they are working for. This implementation...

...THIRD WORLD COUNTRY ( MADAGASCAR) PUBLIC HEALTH STATUS Public Health Life expectancy at birth has gradually improved from an average of 37.5 years for men and 38.3 years for women in 1966 to an average of fifty-two years for men and fifty-five years for women in 1990 (for a combined average of fifty-four). Malaria remains the most serious tropical disease, although eradication campaigns against mosquitoes waged since 1948 initially resulted in spectacular declines in incidence and a dramatic decrease in the island's mortality rate during a twenty-year period. Indeed, in some regions, especially the central highlands, these campaigns were almost completely successful, although malaria continues to be prevalent in the coastal regions, especially the east coast. As prevention practices faltered during the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, the mosquito staged a comeback. The effect on a population with a significantly reduced resistance to malaria was devastating. For example, the Malagasy Ministry of Health reported 490,000 cases and 6,200 deaths from malaria in 1985, but these figures rose--to 760,000 cases and 11,000 deaths--in 1987. As of 1994, other serious diseases included schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, and leprosy. The prevalence of schistosomiasis, a parasitic ailment that spreads primarily through the passing of human wastes into ponds, irrigation canals, and slow-moving streams, reflects the continued lack of adequate sewage facilities, especially in the rural areas...

...Case Study of the NOVADECI Health Care Program By Rosa C. Mercado and Ramon A. Certeza Introduction This case study focuses on the role of the Novaliches Development Cooperative (NOVADECI) in providing health care and medical services to its members. NOVADECI is a cooperative initiated by market vendors in 1976 in a bustling urban community. It started its operations in the town of Novaliches and has since then widened its scope of operation to include the areas of Caloocan and Quezon City, two highly urbanized and populous cities in the Philippines. Quezon City is home to many government and private offices, shopping malls and public markets, schools and universities and sprawling residential areas for both the rich and the poor. NOVADECI had a very rocky beginning, borne out of desperation and necessity for a small group of market vendors who were struggling to keep their businesses afloat in the face of changing market conditions, lack of support from or access to government and banking institutions and perennial dependence on usurious money lenders. Over the years they have realized that their margins-of-profit were being eaten away by the high interest rates they have to pay on loans. In 1976, a tipping point came when the slaughterhouse on which they were getting their meat supplies was ordered closed by the city government due to poor sanitation. A small group of 15 market vendors decided to close ranks and put their heads together. They poured out...

...HISTORY OF PHILIPPINE BANKING Philippine banking has a long and colorful history. It began in 1828 when, as the Philippines reaped the benefits of increased trade, King Ferdinand VII of Spain issued a decree mandating the establishment of a public bank in the Philippines. However, it took 23 years before that bank could become a reality. The man behind the actual organization of the bank was no less than the governor-general of the Philippines at that time, His Excellency Antonio de Urbiztondo y Eguia. Gov. de Urbiztondo was a marquis of Solana in Spain who was named governor-general of the Philippines in 1850. His term of office was characterized by many administrative innovations, so it was not surprising that six years later, he would be called back to Madrid to take on a bigger role as Spain's new minister of war. As the highest-ranking government official in the Philippines, Gov. de Urbiztondo called for the support of the Junta de Autoridades (a committee comprising of civil and ecclesiastical officials) in approving the bank's statutes and by-laws. The junta approved these statutes and by-laws on August 1, 1851, but it was understood that such approval had to be confirmed by the Spanish Crown. The bank was called El Banco Español Filipino de Isabel 2, in honor of the reigning queen of Spain – Isabella II, daughter of King Ferdinand VII, who passed away in 1830. The Bank's office was located at the Royal Custom house (Aduana) in Intramuros (Intramuros...

...STOCK MARKET A stock market or equity market or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers (a loose network of economic transactions, not a physical facility or discrete entity) of stocks (also called shares) these may include securities listed on a stock exchange as well as those only traded privately. The term 'the stock market' is a somewhat abstract concept for the mechanism that enables the trading of company stocks. It is also used to describe the totality of all stocks and sometimes other securities, with the exception of bonds, commodities, and derivatives. The term is used especially to apply within one country as, for example, in the phrase "the stock market was up today", or in the term "stock market bubble". Bonds are still traditionally traded in an informal, over-the-counter market known as the bond market. MUTUAL FUNDS A mutual fund is a professionally managed investment fund that pools money from many investors to purchase securities. While there is no legal definition of the term "mutual fund", it is most commonly applied only to those collective investment vehicles that are regulated and sold to the general public. They are sometimes referred to as "investment companies" or "registered investment companies". Many Filipinos are already investing without knowing it. Pag-IBIG Fund – a mandatory benefit for employees – is actually a type of mutual fund. The fund guarantees the refund of member's total accumulated savings, which consists of the...
