Marshall Islands to fight for more nuclear tests compo

Posted on by

Published: 6:21PM Monday September 16, 2013 Source: ONE News

The Marshall Islands is vowing to keep fighting for more compensation from the United States for 12 years of nuclear testing.

The US conducted 67 atmospheric tests in the 1940s and '50s which are still affecting locals to this day.

ONE News Pacific correspondent Barbara Dreaver, reporting from the capital, Majuro, says time has punished the Marshall Islands people.

She spoke to a group of women who all have cancer, all still affected by nuclear fallout decades ago.

"Most of us had skin burns as if somebody had showered us with boiled water," said Nerje Joseph, one of the nuclear victims.

The biggest of the 67 nuclear tests, Castle Bravo, was the equivalent to 1000 Hiroshima bombs.

When fallout hit Rongolap Atoll, locals like Rinok Riklow thought it was like shampoo and soap, and she rubbed it into her hair and body.

Generations on, she and hundreds of others have paid the price.

"The original people that were exposed are dying but the next two or three generations are showing the same effects," said Marshall Islands Foreign Minister Phillip Muller.

Health care workers near top of the list for getting hurt on job

Posted on by

Needles everywhere. Dangerous germs. Blood, urine and vomit. Users high on bath salts.

And, of course, lots of heavy lifting.

You have to be brave to face the hazards of working in health care.

More health care workers get hurt on the job than miners, farmers or stevedores. In fact, more health care and social assistance workers suffer work-related injuries and illnesses each year than in any other industry, according to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration.

And health care has one of the highest incidence rates of nonfatal injuries and illness.

That's bad news for workers and for employers who lose skilled workers to medical leave and foot the bill for workers' compensation claims. Faxton St. Luke's Healthcare, for example, racked up more than $4 million in worker comp claims last year, officials said.

The hospital now is implementing a program that should help reduce one of the most common health care injuries - back and upper extremity injuries while transferring patients, a job that's gotten more difficult as the population has become more obese. St. Elizabeth Medical Center has seen big payoffs since starting the same program in 2005.

Kathleen Schaub knows all about the risk of patient transfers. As a registered nurse in a cardiac telemetry unit at Faxton St. Luke's, she frequently helps patients into and out of bed.

In one scenario, workers lift a patient with their hands under the patient's armpits, she said. Sometimes, though, an uncooperative patient suddenly goes slack.

You can imagine what that does to your back, Schaub said. And that happens frequently.

First Thoughts: Health care remains a tough sell

NBC/WSJ poll: Health care remains a tough sell for Obama White House The older you are, the less you like it But the more you know about the law, the more you like it Obama addresses 5th anniversary of Lehman collapse, as well as perhaps the Great Disconnect Larry Summers drops out of contention for Fed Chair And wrapping Bidens day in Iowa.

Linda Norman, right, and Joanna Galt, both from Florida, hold their banners during a "Exempt America from Obamacare" rally on the West Lawn of the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013.

*** Health care remains a tough sell: While Syria isnt officially on the backburner yet, its now an issue thats no longer consuming the Obama White House 24-7. But other potential problems remain, including keeping the government open after Sept. 30 and raising the debt ceiling by next month. Yet hanging over all of these budget debates is the implementation of Obamas signature domestic achievement: the health-care law. And new numbers from our NBC/WSJ poll show that the law remains unpopular with the American public. Per the poll, 44% call it a bad idea, while 31% believe its a good idea, which is virtually unchanged from Julys survey. Whats more, by a 45% to 23% margin, Americans say the law will have a negative impact on the country's health-care system rather than a positive one. And 30% of respondents think it will have a negative impact on their families. Just 12% say it will be positive, and a majority -- 53% -- don't believe it will have an impact one way or another. Weve said this before, and well say it again: Health cares unpopularity can be traced to the decision by the White House and its allies to allow Republicans to define it AFTER it was signed into law. Just how poorly has the White House messaged health care? Consider that 30% of Democrats say they dont know enough about the law to have an opinion, and only 56% of Democrats call the plan a good idea So barely half of the presidents base calls health care a good idea. Thats a big problem.

*** The older you are, the less you it: The age segment of the population thats most opposed to the health-care law? No surprise here: Seniors. Among those 65 and old, just 22% think the law is a good idea, versus 55% who believe its a bad idea. Among those 50-64, its 34% good idea, 46% bad idea. Among those 35-49, its 33% good idea, 49% bad idea. And among 18-34, its 31% good idea, 33% bad idea. Strikingly, however, the people who are most opposed are those who arent impacted much by the law, because they already qualify for Medicare. The silver lining for the Obama administration and Democrats is that young Americans -- who will continue to vote in elections for generations to come -- are the ones who are most open to the law. Then again, seniors are the folks who turn out in midterm elections

*** The more you know about it, the more you like it: Heres one more important finding from our poll: 34% say they dont understand the law very well, and another 35% say they understand it only some. That's compared with 30% who understand it either "very well" or "pretty well." As it turns out, that 30% has more positive opinions about the health-care law (42% good idea, 45% bad idea), versus the 34% who don't understand it very well (17% good idea, 44% bad idea). The old GI Joe saying applies here, Knowing is half the battle. The White House has tried to start health-care education campaigns a few times, but to no avail. If they could actually sustain one of their campaign-style pushes on health care, these numbers suggest it COULD pay off. Interestingly, to show how uneasy the White House is about making pro-health care arguments, look at this new OFA TV ad. Its a health care one-off that simply targets House GOPers on the budget. No effort is made in this ad to explain or sell health care.

*** Obama addresses 5th anniversary of Lehman collapse: At 11:40 am ET, Obama gives a speech at the White Houses Rose Garden to mark the fifth anniversary of the financial crisis start. On Friday, we wrote about the Great Disconnect -- how the economy has improved since then, but not for all Americans -- and Obama received a question about it in his ABC interview over the weekend. His answer: That's why we made sure that we had a tax system that was a little bit fairer by asking people to- pay more at the top. That's what the Affordable Care Act is about, is making sure that folks who have been left out in the cold when it comes to health care are able to get health care. That's why we strengthened the entire banking system. But Obama then pivoted to the current budget debates on Capitol Hill. There's no serious economist out there that would suggest that, if you took the Republican agenda of slashing education further, slashing Medicare further, slashing research and development further, slashing investments in infrastructure further, that that would reverse some of these trends of inequality. And heres another example of the Great Disconnect: The gap in employment rates between America's highest- and lowest-income families has stretched to its widest levels since officials began tracking the data a decade ago, according to an analysis of government data conducted for The Associated Press.

*** Why in Washington and not on the road? By the way, there was a time the Obama White House thought it wanted the president to mark this anniversary on the road somewhere, like, you know, on an actual Main Street -- to highlight those who have recovered since Lehman Brothers collapse -- but hes holding the event in DC. Its another example how the Syria debate handcuffed the president. This speech today wont have nearly the same amount of impact on the political debate coming from the Rose Garden vs. say Elkhart, IN.

*** Summers drops out of contention for Fed chair: When Obama speaks on the economy, one subject will hover over the event: Larry Summers withdrawal yesterday as a candidate for Fed chair. Make no mistake, Summers was the White Houses top choice for the post, even though he wasnt ever officially nominated. And the reason he pulled out is that he didnt have the votes, especially from Senate Democrats. Summers himself acknowledged this fact in his withdrawal letter to the president. This now makes Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen the default leading candidate. The question is if Obama will still pick her after the White House has been quietly making a not-so-subtle case against her. Yellen is the easier candidate to confirm at this point and the White House would like a united Democratic party on Capitol Hill as they go into the fall debates on budget. But the president was leaning toward Summers because he wasnt sold on Yellen. Tim Geithner remains the presidents first choice, but Geithner has said no many times and his folks sent out word again over the weekend that he was still not interested. Don Kohn, a former No. 2 at the Fed is also under consideration.
