Ebook How Credit Card Companies Ensnare Consumers

Submitted by wulan on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 03:20

This report summarizes the results of Public Citizen’s eight-month examination of the use of binding mandatory arbitration by the credit card industry. Due to widespread anecdotal evidence of abuse, we articularly focused on credit card giant MBNA’s reliance on one arbitration company, the National Arbitration Forum (NAF). This report shows that binding mandatory arbitration is a rigged game in which justice is dealt from a deck stacked against consumers.

Consumers are railroaded into arbitration even if their identity was stolen or they never agreed to take disputes to arbitration. In several cases we uncovered, NAF, which routinely handles MBNA’s “collection” arbitrations, ignored repeated consumer protests that identity theft was the source of the alleged debt.

Submitted by puput on Wed, 10/14/2009 - 06:26

Heart disease and stroke are major causes of illness, disability and death in Canada and they exact high personal, community and health care costs. The goal of The Changing Face of Heart Disease and Stroke in Canada , the fifth in a series of reports from the Canadian Heart and Stroke Surveillance System (CHSSS), is to provide health professionals and policy makers with an overview of current trends in risk factors, interventions and services, and health outcomes of heart disease and stroke in Canada. It is a collaborative effort of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, the Laboratory Centre for Disease Control, Health Canada, Statistics Canada, the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, and the Canadian Stroke Society.

The publication of The Changing Face of Heart Disease and Stroke in Canada comes at a time of change on several fronts: Change in the age structure and ethnic make up of the population, with more elderly and more Canadians from a variety of backgrounds; Change in the management of AMI and stroke with the use of care maps, innovative technology and evidence based interventions; Change in the organization and delivery of health services; and Increased recognition of the need to target programs for risk reduction to children and adolescents, and to ensure that the specific needs of women, Aboriginal peoples, and individuals from a variety of ethnic backgrounds are met.

Ebook Macroeconomic Dynamics Under High Accumulation of Government Debt: Lessons from Japan

Submitted by puput on Sat, 03/12/2011 - 03:23

The overall debt/GDP ratio in Japan is approaching 200 percent, much larger than highly-indebted OECD countries like Greece and Italy, as Figure 1 shows. Unlike the United States, domestic Japanese residents hold more than 94% of Japanese government debt. Despite these high ratios, the government bond market in Japan remains relatively tranquil, with no risk premium demanded by financial institutions purchasing this debt.
