It is a huge step forward. The change was prompted by the 2008 Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). After a full review of the TRICARE benefits changes have been made to “meet the spirit and the intent of the Act.” The new rules: Bring coverage to parity with TRICARE’s medical/surgical benefit including eliminating limitation on outpatient services including the previous limit of no more than 2 weekly sessions for outpatient services and aligning beneficiary cost-sharing co-pays (example: reduce Retiree and Non Active Duty Dependents’ Prime per diem for partial hospitalization program from $40 inpatient rate billed to outpatient rate of $12 per day) Expand mental health and substance abuse disorders (SUD)in numerous ways including:” Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for mental health & SUD treatment to provide step-down care from acute inpatient/residential

  • Dealing with a Trump World
    Crafting a sustainable future • for globalisation at Davos • Growth risks in 2017: China, oil, debt • Disruptive technology trends Feb – March 2017 MCI (P) 148/08/2016 Dealing with a Trump world Donald Trump’s salvos against globalism raises questions about whether America will remain a beacon of hope, for Asia and beyond. Will the wall he is erecting leave the US vulnerable? Letter from the Editor-in-Chief Gain an insider’s view on Asia with us Dear readers, It has only been weeks since United States President Donald Trump took office, but his slew of executive orders has stirred much controversy and sparked considerable anxiety around the world. These include America’s withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, controversial appointments, as well as clashes with other political and world leaders. The implications of these recent events are likely to be with us well into 2017, and beyond. Straits Times US Bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh takes a look at what the new Trump presidency means for all of us and where things might be heading, while our associate editor Ravi Velloor ponders the implications for Asia should the US decide to go head-to-head with China, on trade or security issues. Mr Trump was the focus of attention at this year’s World Economic Forum meet in Davos too, where delegates debated what his “America First!” views portend for the world and the future of globalisation. I attended the sessions and sum up the discussions on pages 10 & 11. These issues are a key focus for all of us in The Straits Times.

  • For- Profit President
    FOR- PROFIT PRESIDENT The First 100 Days of Donald Trump’s Presidency: Enriching His Private Business, Carrying Out a Corporate Takeover and Putting Profits Before People May 3, 2017 By Rick Claypool, Research Director for Public Citizen’s President’s Office About Public Citizen Public Citizen is a national non-profit organization with more than 400,000 members and supporters. We represent consumer interests through lobbying, litigation, administrative advocacy, research, and public education on a broad range of issues including consumer rights in the marketplace, product safety, financial regulation, worker safety, safe and affordable health care, campaign finance reform and government ethics, fair trade, climate change, and corporate and government accountability. Public Citizen 1600 20th St. NW Washington, D.C. 20009 P: 202-588-1000 http://www.citizen.org © 2017 Public Citizen. 1 INTRODUCTION From day one, President Trump has used his position to expand and enrich his private businesses, lead an unprecedented corporate takeover by installing CEOs and corporate cronies at the highest levels of government and advance policies the prioritize expanding Big Business profits at the expense of the public interest. Much of what happened over the course of Trump’s first 100 days in office was presaged by his transition, which was characterized by a rapid influx of corporate- connected staff who were made responsible for transferring power to the incoming administration.1 The transition staff members were soon upstaged by Trump’s cabinet nominees, a selection of CEOs and corporate-backed Republican officials who constitute an unprecedented corporate cabinet.2 And while plans for dramatic cuts to federal programs3 and high-level meetings with corporate executives regarding business matters before the government4 were going on before Trump took the oath of office, the true depth of the administration’s unswerving commitment to an especially savage version of corporate capitalism is now, as we approach the first 100 days under the Trump administration, utterly clear.

  • History Research Journal ISSN:0976-5425 VOL-5-ISSUE-5-SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER-2019
    History Research Journal ISSN:0976-5425 VOL-5-ISSUE-5-SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER-2019 Trump, Debasement and The United States of America Dr. Manvendra Singh Assistant Professor, Department of Government and Public Administration, School of Humanities, Lovely Professional University, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Majority rule government is a work in progress. So is democratic system's demise. Somewhere in the time period of 1975 and 2000, nations in each landmass abandoned abusive systems to the standard of law, away from fascisms of a solitary man or a solitary gathering toward multiparty majority rules system. From that point forward, majority rules system has gone into retreat. From Russia to South Africa, from Turkey to the Philippines, from Venezuela to Hungary, dictator pioneers have crushed limitations on their capacity. Media opportunity and legal autonomy have been dissolved. The privilege to cast a ballot remains, however the privilege to have one's vote tallied decently may not. Until the US presidential appointment of 2016, the worldwide decay of majority rules system appeared to be a worry for different people groups in different terrains; an issue for US international strategy, indeed, yet not for America's inward issues. That careless confidence has been overturned by the political ascent of Donald Trump. This paper is an effort to explore and analyse political corruption and pillage since 2016 presidential elections in the United States of America. Keywords: Abandoned, Ballot, Democratic, Pillage Introduction Vote based system passes on in obscurity, opines an extraordinary American paper, however it would be progressively exact to state that it kicks the bucket by degrees.
