Greece makes austerity push, workers gear for strike

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece's government presents a new austerity package to parliament on Monday, facing a week of strikes and protests over proposals which must win lawmakers' approval if the country is to secure more aid and stave off bankruptcy.

Parliament is expected to vote on Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's package of 13.5 billion euros ($17 billion) in cost cuts and tax hikes on Wednesday along with measures making it easier for firms to hire and fire workers.

Despite public exasperation at four years of belt-tightening that has helped wipe out a fifth of the economy and leave a quarter of Greeks jobless, the package and a tough budget slated for a vote on Sunday are expected to scrape through parliament.

Greece's powerful main public and private sector unions will launch a 48 hour strike against the legislation on Tuesday and plan marches in Athens' city center. Journalists, doctors, transport workers and shopkeepers are also planning stoppages.

Approval of the reforms and the passage of the 2013 budget are crucial to unlocking 31.5 billion euros in aid from an International Monetary Fund and European Union bailout that has been on hold since the summer.

"These will be the last cuts in wages and pensions," Samaras said in a speech aimed at galvanizing the members of his center-right New Democracy party.

"We promised to avert the country's exit from the euro and this is what we are doing. We have given absolute priority to this because if we do not achieve this everything else will be meaningless."

Without the aid, Greece will not be able to redeem a 5- billion euro treasury bill falling due on November 16. The bulk of the new aid tranche, some 25 billion euros, is earmarked to recapitalize Greece's struggling banks and kick-start moribund lending, a prerequisite to climbing out of recession.

But union leaders say the measures will simply deepen an economic contraction expected to run into next year.

"Our labour action next week will be part of efforts to avert policies that will sink the country deeper into recession and destroy the fabric of society," Yannis Panagopoulos, head of the GSEE private sector umbrella union, told Reuters.

ANGER, DISSENT

Athens' 14,000 taxi drivers are on strike and office workers complained of long commutes due to a stoppage on the city's metro, tram and city trains, which serve 500,000 people a day.

Protests will intensify on Tuesday, ratcheting up pressure on coalition deputies whose parties have slid in polls since a June election in the Mediterranean country of 10 million.

On Friday, a poll showed New Democracy's support had fallen to 22 percent, from 30 percent in the June election. Its Socialist PASOK partner had fallen to 7 percent, down from 12.3 percent according to the PULSE survey.

"Everything is black and it will only get worse. They have exterminated us. They have turned us into prisoners," said Eleni Tatsou, 38, who works in a kebab shop in central Athens.

"I haven't been paid for eight months, but I know nothing will change if I quit, so I'm waiting. Maybe I'll get paid one day. Maybe a miracle will happen."

The smallest ruling party, the Democratic Left, has pledged to stay in the government but rejects the plans to cut wages and severance payments and scrap automatic wage hikes, saying they will devastate workers who have borne the brunt of the crisis.

PASOK is struggling to shore up support for the measures after one of its deputies quit on Thursday in the wake of a narrow victory in pushing through a privatization bill also demanded by the lenders, cutting PASOK's numbers to 32 seats.

At least five of those members have said they may not back the reforms. Without them, New Democracy and PASOK's remaining members are expected to muster around 154 of parliament's 300 votes, a move analysts say is vital to the government's survival and Greece avoiding insolvency later this month.

"The measures will pass, but the majority will be so slim that it will raise questions over the government's future viability," said Costas Panagopoulos, head of Alco pollsters.

Greece is hoping the "troika" of the IMF, European Commission and European Central Bank lenders extend a deadline to achieve a primary budget surplus of 4.5 percent, a measure of public finances minus debt maintenance costs.

That would give the battered economy breathing room, but the government has said it would shrink more than forecast in 2013 and debt would peak at 192 percent of GDP in 2014, 10 percentage points higher than earlier forecast.

That has increased the prospect of another round of debt restructuring, a source of conflict between the IMF and Greece's biggest EU creditor Germany who both privately say Athens' debt trajectory is unsustainable. ($1 = 0.7785 euros) (Writing by Michael Winfrey; Editing by Alastair Macdonald)

Medicaid Coverage in New York for Pregnant Women - Insurance ...

by Jen Thorpe | More from this Blogger

The Medicaid programs in each state have a portion that is designed to cover the health care needs of women who are pregnant. In New York, the main Medicaid program will provide that coverage. The state also has a prenatal care program, and a family planning program.

Medicaid is a public, or government run, form of health insurance. It provides coverage for individuals and families who are low income, and who are unable to afford to buy a health plan from a private insurance company. Medicaid is funded, in part, by the federal government. It is also partially funded by the government of an individual state.

In New York, the Medicaid program is administered by the the New York State Department of Health. The main Medicaid program will cover the health care needs of women who are pregnant. To be eligible, a pregnant woman must come from a family whose income is 200% of the federal poverty level. Medicaid covers family planning and reproductive health service.

New York also has a Family Planning Benefit Program (FPBP). It is for New Yorkers who need family planning services, but may not be able to afford them. The purpose of the program is to increase access to confidential family planning services and to prevent the incidence of unwanted pregnancies.

To be eligible for FPBP, you must be a resident of New York. You must also be a United States citizen, or have satisfactory immigration status. The program is available for men or women who are childbearing age. The person must meet income requirements, and not be currently enrolled in Medicaid or Family Health Plus.

FPBP covers most FDA approved birth control methods, devices, and supplies. It covers emergency contraception services and follow up care, and both male and female sterilization. It also covers preconception counseling and preventative screening and family planning options before pregnancy.

There also is a Prenatal Care program. The New York Medicaid website has tons of information about nutrition before and during a pregnancy, how to have a healthy pregnancy, and where to go to apply for Medicaid prenatal care services. It also has a breastfeeding promotion program. Women who need it can also get help for, and information on, perinatal depression.

New York has an online guide for Preconception Care. This will help women who want to become pregnant achieve that result. Anyone can look at this long list of information for free. It gives women a good starting off point for a conversation with a doctor about how to improve the woman's chances of conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy.

Businesses Shine in Sandy Aftermath

Businesses and ordinary citizens have been notably in the lead in bringing aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy.? On the other hand, some celebrities, government agencies, and even the mayor of New York City are taking criticism for poor planning, slow response, and a lack of concern toward victims who are still suffering without food, clothing, shelter, fuel or drinkable water.? Sadly, the aftermath of Sandy is unfolding in an eerily similar way to another devastating hurricane, Katrina, where the damage proved to be worse than initially thought, the full extent of it coming to light day by terrible day.

Businesses Help the Community

The best and brightest. Some like to paint businesses as being greedy, driven only by profit.? Businesses, including small businesses, aren?t always recognized for the good they do in their communities.? Yet they play a key role in natural disasters to help citizens keep? body and soul together ? even when the business owners and their? businesses have been victims and are immersed in the same natural disaster. The Fiscal Times

A helping hand. University of Wisconsin law professor Ann Althouse refers to posts about the efforts of businesses versus those of government to aid those suffering with power outages and other problems following Sandy. The post and the commenters pose the reasonable question: Who is truly helping New Yorkers in need? Althouse

Collective effort. Help in the Hurricane?s aftermath wasn?t limited to businesses in New York City. Businesses from outside the city were quick to lend a helping hand, too. Take this report on businesses acting as collection points for donated supplies bound for victims of Hurricane Sandy. It?s just one example of how small businesses are an integral part of the charitable fabric of our communities. The Saratogan

Setting Priorities

Let them eat cake. While ordinary citizens and some businesses are going above and beyond to assist people in need, some celebrities have been, well, tone deaf.? Take actress Debra Messing.? She was blasted by local New York media for donning a Marie Antoinette costume while attending a lavish event whose resources (such as refrigerators) many say could better have been used to assist storm victims.? Of course, those celebrities may have gotten the impression everything was fine through the overly-hasty high-fives being given by public officials last Tuesday and Wednesday. The New York Post

Marathon mess up. The New York Marathon was scheduled to take place this past weekend, and up until Friday Mayor Bloomberg had declared the show must go on.? New Yorkers were outraged.? In a city where hundreds of thousands are continuing to struggle without necessities and the dead and injured are still being discovered, the Marathon became a lightning rod of criticism.? On Friday the Mayor finally caved to pressure and cancelled the event.? Even then, his statement made it sound as if protests, rather than a desire to help storm victims, are what finally caused the cancellation.? Another example of tone deaf?? The Wall Street Journal

Going the distance. Naturally the marathoners were disappointed ? some had traveled thousands of miles at considerable expense for the event.? A large number showed their grit and civic commitment by volunteering to help storm victims. This photo below from Runners World shows runners who had planned to participate in the now cancelled race, crowding the Staten Island Ferry headed to help Staten Island storm victims. Twitter via Runners World

Government Slow to Respond

Slow responders. Uh oh! While citizens and local businesses have been doing what they can, government on all levels appears to have been caught with their planning pants down. Take the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which despite its stated policy of preparedness, was soliciting bids from vendors for bottled water on? Friday, days after the storm and after rumors of running out of water started making the rounds. Breitbart

Here?s a full text of the FEMA solicitation for 470 tractor trailer or truck loads of bottled water equaling 2.3M gallons, four days after the storm had subsided.? FedBizOpps.gov

The rumor mill. Under a section labeled ?rumor control? on its Website, the Federal Emergency Management Agency insists stories about the organization running out of water are false. However, the site doesn?t state how much water the federal agency is actually distributing or in how timely a manner.? FEMA

Left in the lurch. Other parts of government are feeling the heat from citizens, too.? Residents of hard-hit Staten Island, Rockaway Beach and other places in New York and New Jersey are complaining that government at various levels has been slow to respond. With their community in shambles, residents are caught on camera expressing their frustration, ?Where is FEMA?? Where?s the police?? Where are rescue crews? When are we going to get some help??? CBS New York

Inadequate response. ?Official help has arrived in the last couple of days, but many residents say it?s not enough and poorly organized.? Huffington Post

AngloGold says Tanzania law changes worry investors

ARUSHA, Tanzania (Reuters) - Tanzania should stick to existing agreements in the fast-growing mining sector or investors will lose confidence, the company which owns the country's biggest gold mine said on Saturday.

Major international miners are still in talks with the government two years after it passed mining legislation that included a rise in royalties on gold exports to 4 percent of gross value from 3 percent of netback value.

The law also required mining companies to pay the government 0.3 percent of their annual turnover, up from the previous requirement of a maximum $200,000 a year.

AngloGold Ashanti told Reuters it expected the Dodoma government to respect its mineral development agreement, which it said was a legal contract signed before the new mining legislation was put in place.

"Our investors obviously expect that those contracts should be honored because they've made an investment for the long term," Gary Davies, managing director of AngloGold's Geita gold mine said in an interview.

"What's key is that the goal posts are stable because otherwise investors will need to factor that into their investments. I think any investor would be concerned about that, we are no different."

East Africa's second biggest economy argues it is not seeing the fruits of soaring commodity prices, in particular gold. It plans to increase the mining sector's contribution to the economy to 10 percent of GDP by 2025 from 3.3 percent last year.

But the miners say hiking taxes and increasing royalties is the wrong approach. They say Tanzania should focus on attracting more investors and issuing additional mining licenses.

Tanzania is Africa's fourth biggest gold producer. Gold export earnings jumped 47 percent to $2.226 billion last year.

HINDERING GROWTH

Major gold mining companies in Tanzania include African Barrick Gold Plc, which has four gold-producing mines, AngloGold Ashanti Ltd and Resolute Mining Ltd.

Tanzania's energy and minerals ministry declared in July that all mining companies had agreed to pay the new royalty rate from May and said the government would keep mining contracts under review in a bid to deepen their economic contributions.

African Barrick Gold, which has four gold mines in Tanzania, is however the only company that has so far publicly announced it will pay the new 4 percent royalty rate.

AngloGold's Davies said negotiations continued over several aspects of the 2010 legislation.

"Investors need to have that degree of certainty and stability in order to put large investments over the long term."

The Geita mine recorded revenues in excess of $4.2 billion over the past decade and paid $683 million to the Treasury during the period in corporate tax, royalties, withholding taxes, payroll taxes and other fees, Davies said.

"Last year we produced 494,000 ounces and we are looking to be in a similar range this year," he said.

Laurent Coche, AngloGold's senior vice-president for sustainability in Africa, said the company wanted talks with Tanzania about how to boost growth of the mining sector.

"There is also a need to distinguish between the short-term issues and long-term issues. We would be willing to be part of a conversation around developing the country's mining vision ... looking at 20 or 30 years down the road," Coche told Reuters.

Other mining companies contacted on the matter directed Reuters to the Tanzania Chamber of Minerals and Energy (TCME), which represents the interests of mining investors.

It has said mining contracts all included fiscal stability clauses and that the unstable legal environment was hindering growth in the mining sector.

African Barrick Gold's Tulawaka gold mine and Resolute Mine's Golden Pride mine are both expected to close down in mid-2013 after depleting their reserves, although work is underway to explore possibilities of mine-life extension.
