Now there are hot discussions about the collection of money for treatment in the United States singer Jeanne Friske. They argue about whether it was possible to publicize a terrible diagnosis whether it was necessary to ask the public if the victim of the disease had housing in Miami, and she earned one and a half million dollars a year.
This is not so important.
Enthusiasts, cooperating with the first channel, hope that after gathering for the operation of the pop star at Rusfond, they will remain, as they write, "extra money". And they will go to save the hard -sided children uninteresting to the masses. The managers of the first are also sure of the same. It turns out that sympathy personally to Jeanne Friske is only a bait on which philanthropists are caught. Not very moral, but ... "what to do", "people must be saved" ...
None of the representatives of the “progressive public”, who are once again ready to take money from the people of Russia for a good work of seriously ill-ill, does not want to say aloud that they have been doing this primarily because of the absolutely vicious social policy of the Putin state.
None of the public activists asking the people on charitable telemararanets publicly offers the authorities to change their policy, does not consider it necessary to demand the budget in favor of healthcare. I don’t hear this now.
These are the rules of the game.
Not so long ago they asked not on the unfortunate Jeanne Friske, but on the victims of floods in the Far East. Money raised considerable. The organizers of the telemarathon received the government of the government in the field of journalism. Meanwhile, the funds in the treasury were quite enough to buy a new modular house with everything necessary for the winter.
Russia is still monstrously rich - and monstrously wasteful. The sake of mythical “integration” of wild amounts of Viktor Yanukovych’s regimes ($ 15 billion from the National Welfare Fund) and Alexander Lukashenko (5 billion) have just been promoted and partially issued.
According to Boris Nemtsov , the multi -billion dollar Olympic allocations are “cut”. Objects of sports and infrastructure are built at least for double money compared to their analogues in other countries. Suppose you will not return stolen. But is it possible to learn from this sad experience? Why, after the Universiade in Kazan and the Olympics in Sochi, grabbing the Universiade in Krasnoyarsk? Or is there any other way to improve the life of a provincial city, how to make sports competitions or APEC summit with an inevitable large -scale plunder of the budget of a large construction site?
Vladimir Putin: Weapons instead of drugs
Before the 2012 presidential elections, the Kremlin’s authors “Program 2020” talked about the “budget maneuver”, and suggested urgently to increase the costs of education and healthcare. But after winning the election, Vladimir Putin had other priorities. The president began to allocate federal billions on the modernization of military equipment, for the police and special services. Putin ordered his "May decrees" on the urgent increase in salaries to teachers and doctors to fulfill the regions with their poor budgets. Governors and mayors began to reduce staff, close schools, hospitals and clinics, rural outpatients and paramedic points and, finally, climbed into giant debts ...
Meanwhile, even part of the funds allocated by the military -industrial complex could now, at least tomorrow to save thousands of doomed people, sending them to operations in the clinic of Europe or the USA.
Less tanks and missiles - more modern technologies in the same health care. With a competent increase in the costs of medicine for 5-7 years, the growth of admission to medical universities, sending doctors to study and internships to the best clinics in the world, during the purchase of modern technology it would be possible to raise the level of medicine at least to the Middle European. This is evidenced by experts.
Judging by
the discussions at the recent Gaidar Forum, Putin’s policy will actually reduce the modernization of the public healthcare system, but the de facto will first develop paid medicine. Although the clinic working in the additional insurance system is already quite enough for the middle class.
Moreover, paid medicine successfully applies to the so -called free. The cooperatives of the Gorbachev era issued state -owned enterprises. Now paid medicine successfully devours the one that people paid for employers in compulsory medical insurance. Simple procedures in ordinary clinics become inaccessible, you need to stand for weeks in lines. And in the same building the same procedures or consultations are freely offered for a fee as "additional services".
The standards of the "bedside" introduced without taking into account the specifics of medicine simply kill "short -natured" industries. In one of the hospitals in Moscow, the head physician - the “effective manager” closed one of the best in the capital of the therapeutic direction, because “it is almost not paying off, surgery is more profitable” ... Now those who could be treated with gentle methods offer expensive operations.
Government Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets said that medicine in Russia is not inferior to the United States, spoke about unique operations. They are made in Russia, but it is as unique. And even in Moscow in formally leading hospitals, elementary conditions for treatment and nursing are not provided.
“Today, outpatient centers, Moscow hospitals are equipped at the level of European countries - Great Britain, France, a little worse than in Germany,” Sergey Sobyanin lied at a meeting with Vladimir Putin on January 21, 2014.
Here is an excerpt from the story of a colleague who in December 2013 a victim of an accident:
“There are no complaints about treatment and doctors, they helped me, but I have continuous complaints to the conditions in the hospital. The 21st century has not touched one of the main hospitals of the country (named after Sklifosovsky) in the capital. People are also put in the corridor, where other patients are constantly sniffed and where they are very blowing. Pajamas, like the prisoners, are locked up all the clothes and documents.
With Zhanna Friske, if her illness in fact in the United States has learned to treat for a lot of money, I hope everything will be fine. I hope that the annoying children will remain for treatment
The mobile phone is allowed to take with you, but recharging is possible only at the duty station, since there are no electric sockets in the wards. There are no TVs anywhere. According to rumors, there is a refrigerator somewhere. The hospital does not have elementary hygiene products: toilet paper, towels, a public shower, only terrible current washbasins with one cold water. At a certain time, the hang up - turn off the light. There are no bulbs at the beds so that you can read. Patients are fed poorly, in small "prison" portions, boiling water for tea is given only after dinner in the evening. It’s cold, blowing everywhere ... "
The stories of non -metic hospitals look like scenes from horror films. But if on the first channel to tell the people all this truth about why health care is in such a monstrous state after a decade of oil, if you explain who should give money for medicine, do you can give hand -to -hand and completely poor people a hand extended to them from the screen? They will ask dangerous issues of power.
That is why the "public" will observe an unspoken agreement with a TVNACHICT, to exploit the tears of fans of the pop stars and, appearing on the screen, the essence of the matter is visionarily silent.
With Zhanna Friske, if her illness in fact in the United States has learned to treat for a lot of money, I hope everything will be fine. On the first day of the action, the good -hearted spectators of the First Channel raised 48 million rubles.
They will collect more. I hope that the unzret children will remain for treatment.
What can I say, good people in Russia. And very gullible.
