Griesa blocks Euroclear from processing any Argentina bonds payments
New York judge Thomas Griesa on Wednesday barred Euroclear, the giant Belgium-based financial clearing and settlement house, from processing any debt payments by Argentina. In the newest step tightening Buenos Aires' avenues for avoiding paying off hedge funds on their bonds, Griesa forbade Euroclear from processing “any payments received from any source” in respect to Argentine bonds.

All its takes is the right information for the processing to begin in earnest, and information is very transferable in these electronic cloudy times.

http://www.buenosairesherald.com/article/184945/wine-sector-under-pressure
Wine producers are going through a crisis. Argentines have less purchasing power so sales have dropped and a low exchange rate has made us less competitive in foreign markets,” Susana Balbo, head of Wines of Argentina, an agency that promotes Argentine wine abroad, and CEO of Dominio del Plata winery, told the Herald. “We used to be competitive abroad with cheaper wines but that’s long gone.”
Such a large production of wine would suggest a large number of wineries involved in the production of wine. However, the figures show a different scene. Only 414 wineries have registered at the INV to participate in this year’s harvest, 55 percent fewer than the 918 registered in 2014 and 56 percent fewer than the 950 seen in 2013. At the same time, 52 wineries were closed down between June and February due to infractions over lack of maintenance.
Silly child.

Mar 27th, 2015 - 09:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0FROM CNN's Jack Cafferty:
We are constantly being told what a great health care system other countries like Canada, France and Britain have. But guess what? Some Canadians are crossing the border to Michigan to get health care.
And we're talking about more than just coming over for an appointment, quick lab test or a second opinion. According to an article in the Detroit Free Press, Canadian health agencies are creating formal partnerships with hospitals in Michigan to provide services not quickly available at home through their national health care system.
For example, the Ontario Ministry of Health has agreements with some Detroit hospitals for imaging tests, bariatric, heart and other services that have long waiting lists in Ontario. Rather than paying out of pocket for crossing the border, the bill is paid by the plan, sort of like staying with an in network doctor if you have private insurance in the U.S.
Michael Vujovich of Windsor came to Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit where he had an angioplasty done. The bill was $38,000. It was paid in full by the Ministry of Health in Ontario.
Canada sees this approach as better than shelling out money to build additional facilities in Canada to meet the demand for care. Critics of national health care systems like Canada's are quick to point out that the system is not working if they have to send their patients to the U.S.

The difference, however, is that all Canadians are covered for whatever they need, independently of their individual wealth. No need to mortgage your house if your wife's delivery got a bit complicated.

It’s fairly well accepted that the U.S. is the most expensive healthcare system in the world, but many continue to falsely assume that we pay more for healthcare because we get better health (or better health outcomes). The evidence, however, clearly doesn’t support that view.

Mar 31st, 2015 - 02:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Give up. You make a fool of yourself for attempting to justify the indefensible. It's not your fault after all if your country has a horribly expensive system, not only for patients but for the country as a whole.
This is partly because of the U.S. horrendously complex administration system that makes billing a nightmare for patients with serious or long term health issues.
Unfortunately, the medical corporations make so much money, they can keep an army of lobbyists and invest colossal sums in propaganda in order to keep business as usual. They sabotaged as much as they could Obama's efforts to improve the system.
In the Canadian system, everybody puts some money up and those who are sick just go to doctors or hospitals without worrying about payment. Oh but I know--it smells of Socialism--I know the argument was made during the campaign for Obama's reforms. And surprisingly, the argument works for some!
Reekie, I've never heard of any USA citizens going to Canada to get treatment.

Look, YB. I have not put in question the quality of the USA hospitals. Indeed you have excellent care...for those who can afford it. But having good hospitals does not mean having a good health care system.
Now, your following: “I don't know anyone who worries about paying a healthcare bill”
Come on. Where did you say you live?
I will live you with some lines from Wikipedia:
Here's proof of excellence in many fields: “America is a global leader in medical innovation...solely developed or contributed significantly to 9 of the top 10 most important medical innovations since 1975.”
But: “...49.9 million residents, 16.3% of the population, were uninsured in 2010.”
“Lack of health insurance causes some 45,000 to 48,000 unnecessary deaths every year in the United States.”
Moreover: In 2007, 62.1% of filers for bankruptcies claimed high medical expenses...25% of all senior citizens declare bankruptcy due to medical expenses, and 43% are forced to mortgage or sell their primary residence.“
But things are improving: Under Obama's Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as of May 2014, about 20 million Americans had gained health insurance coverage...the percentage of uninsured Americans dropped from 18% in 2013 to 13.4%.”
