Socialement, la situation est extraordinairement claire: les USA sont un pays d\u00e9vast\u00e9, \u00e9quivalent aux pays du Tiers-Monde, voire pire que certains d&rsquo;entre eux, et le Forum de Los Angeles  l&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e9nement en question, une clinique gratuite volante install\u00e9e pour une semaine dans le stade couvert de basket ball du Forum  en donne une mesure spectaculaire.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tOn a d\u00e9j\u00e0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dedefensa.org\/article-la_bataille_des_soins_de_sante_aux_usa_un_temps_de_terreur_15_08_2009.html\" class=\"gen\">signal\u00e9<\/a> un excellent <a href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/world\/americas\/the-brutal-truth-about-americarsquos-healthcare-1772580.html\" class=\"gen\">article<\/a> de <em>The Independent<\/em> sur ce cas du Forum de Los Angeles.

In the first three days alone, 706 teeth were extracted, 1,640 fillings put in, 141 mammograms administered and 550 sets of eyeglasses prepared. There were hundreds of pap smears and tuberculosis tests. Some patients were put directly into waiting ambulances and taken to local emergency rooms.<\/em> []<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb<em>Remote Area Medical has focused on impoverished third-world countries for more than 20 years, beginning with clinics in the Amazon jungle of Brazil. But in recent years it has begun to work inside the United States, including in New Orleans after Katrina, and earlier this year in the Appalachian foothills of Virginia, where volunteer dentists performed more than 4,300 tooth extractions in two days.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb<em>The Los Angeles event was made possible by a group of film and record producers who learned of the charity&rsquo;s activities from a 60 Minutes profile and contacted Brock. The Forum, now owned by a local church, was chosen as a centrally located site, close to the densely populated south side Los Angeles.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb<em>One volunteer dentist who spoke to the local media said that conditions in Los Angeles were worse than in Brazil, where he has done equivalent charity work. They have a nice system of public hospitals and clinics, he said, referring to Brazil. A volunteer doctor, when asked about the difference between Third World conditions and those in Los Angeles, responded, Here the people speak English.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tL&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e9nement du Forum de Los Angeles, qui est largement m\u00e9diatis\u00e9 notamment parce qu&rsquo;il a lieu en m\u00eame temps que la bataille des soins de sant\u00e9, devrait contribuer \u00e0 alourdir la tension aux USA. Il met en \u00e9vidence le contraste saisissant entre la propagande officielle concernant la reprise apr\u00e8s la catastrophe financi\u00e8re de l&rsquo;automne 2008, et la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e9conomique et sociale des USA en constante aggravation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tD&rsquo;autre part et plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment, l&rsquo;\u00e9v\u00e9nement met d&rsquo;autant plus en \u00e9vidence l&rsquo;aspect politique surr\u00e9aliste et anarchique de la bataille des soins de sant\u00e9, d&rsquo;une fa\u00e7on qui commence \u00e0 \u00eatre rapport\u00e9e de fa\u00e7on pol\u00e9mique par certains m\u00e9dias. C&rsquo;est notamment le cas dans l&rsquo;\u00e9mission de Bill Maher <em>Real Time<\/em>, au cours de laquelle l&rsquo;acteur Dana Gould a apport\u00e9 ses commentaires opposant l&rsquo;attitude de ceux qui protestent contre le projets de soins de sant\u00e9 et les milliers de personnes qui viennent au Forum de Los Angeles pour se faire soigner gratuitement. L&rsquo;\u00e9mission se termine par l&rsquo;exclamation de Gould <em>What the Fuck!<\/em> (\u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s : mais putain, de quoi on parle!).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\tL&rsquo;\u00e9pisode, avec une vid\u00e9o de l&rsquo;\u00e9mission, est rapport\u00e9 par <em>RAW Story<\/em> le <a href=\"http:\/\/rawstory.com\/blog\/2009\/08\/real-time-with-bill-maher-dana-gould-reports-on-health-care-protests-and-remote-area-medical\/\" class=\"gen\">15 ao\u00fbt 2009<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00ab<em>First, Gould went to town hall meetings where protesters rallied against health care reform, noting all the anger and hateful rhetoric coming from people who, presumably, already have health care insurance. Then he took a look at the work being done by Remote Area Medical, a group that sets up makeshift health care facilities in fairgrounds and stadiums where the uninsured and under-insured can come in and have their various health care needs met at no cost.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb<em>So we started the day at a town hall meeting where people who had health care were enraged that Obama was Hitler and a socialist and a fascist, and then we came here where people lined up at two, three, four o&rsquo;clock in the morning because they didnt have access to even the most fundamental health care, Gould said. I don&rsquo;t understand why the people who have stuff are enraged, and the people who have nothing are warm and hopeful.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>\t\u00bb<em>He ended the segment with the words, This is Dana Gould saying: What the fuck.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><p>\tMis en ligne le 17 ao\u00fbt 2009 \u00e0 09H20<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un \u00e9v\u00e9nement est en train de rassembler en lui-m\u00eame et de symboliser la crise sociale aux USA, dont la bataille des soins de sant\u00e9 est un autre enjeu.
