Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) members joined more than 200 people in an Ontario Health Coalition protest outside of a downtown Toronto hotel where Minister of Health Deb Matthews was speaking. Matthews and Primer Dalton McGuinty were criticized for ignoring and downplaying the consequences of provincial government cuts that have closed hospitals for thousands of Ontarians, reduced hospital services, increased user fees, redirected patients to inappropriate facilities and promoted the privatization of health care for profit.

In Washington, DC on Tuesday, March 10th, hundreds of people rallied for real health care reform and against the insurance industry: http://www.healthcareforamericanow.org
America’s Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the main health insurance industry lobbyist group, was having a “health care reform” conference, trying to pay lip service to reform while at the same time, opposing the heart of President Obama’s health care reform plan. We wanted to make sure America saw through the insurance industry’s lies. They are the enemy of health care reform.
A broad coalition of reform supporters, from proponents of Obama’s health care plan to single payer advocates, tried to present Karen Ignagni, AHIP’s CEO, with an award for “Best Protector of Profits at the Expense of Our Health.” She was too scared to face the crowd and accept the award, but Health Care for America Now will make sure it follows her around the country until she accepts.

Footage of patriots at the St. Louis Tea Party on November 28, 2009. The Gulag was put up by the Washington University Young Americans for Liberty. I didn’t get a whole lot of footage as we were busy getting petitions signed to audit the Federal Reserve Board and to oppose the current Health Control bill that the collectivist socialists in the Senate are trying to force on the American people despite a large majority of Americans who oppose it.

Ergonomics is the science of designing work systems taking into account the “human factors,” so as to make them efficient as well as healthful. The philosophy is one of “fitting the job to the worker.” A wide variety of ailments can occur when jobs entail repetitive motion, forceful exertions or awkward postures. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported 740,000 lost-workday cases during 1999 due to sprains and strains and another 45 thousand due to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or tendinitis, which together accounted for 46% of all lost workday injuries. While sprains and strains are similar in severity to other types of injury (a median of 6 days away from work), CTS cases have a median loss of 25 workdays. As the number of reported cases increased rapidly in the 1980s, OSHA started paying more attention to ergonomics, relying on its general authority pending development of a formal standard. Notable cases were brought and remedial settlements reached in the meatpacking and automotive industries. In 1992, OSHA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking, and in 1994 circulated a draft proposal, and in 1995 a revised draft. The 1994 proposal received a negative reaction from major industry groups, and the National Association of Manufacturers helped form the National Coalition on Ergonomics to oppose its adoption. The 1995 draft was somewhat less extensive, particularly in coverage. Rather than requiring comprehensive action by all employers, the revised approach was to have employers do an initial self-evaluation to identify whether certain “signal risk factors” were present. Although OSHA was prohibited by appropriations riders, during most of fiscal 1995 through 1999, from promulgating formal ergonomics proposals, the agency was able to continue development work, and issued its final standard on November 14, 2000. The final regulation was a program standard, meaning that employers would be required to establish ergonomic programs in their workplaces under the general guidelines of the standard. The specific preventive and corrective measures to be taken were to come out of those programs, rather than being mandated in detail by OSHA. Not all employers would need to establish programs. The obligation to do so would be triggered if and when a work-related “musculoskeletal disorder” (MSD) is reported, if it occurs in a job that has certain risk factors forceful exertions, repetition, vibration and awkward postures playing a significant part in each workday. As soon as the rule was issued, opponents launched actions to overturn it in various forums, both judicial and legislative. Two industry groups filed suit in the U. S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, arguing variously that the standard exceeded OSHA’s authority, that the agency did not follow proper procedure, and that the standard was vague, incomprehensible, and not based on sound medical science or economic analysis. However, the more expeditious course for opponents proved to be the Congressional Review Act. . In the first-ever application of that statute, a “resolution of disapproval,” passed by the Congress President Bush signed the measure into law and the standard was nullified.
