According to health officials, some 69 children have died in Muzaffarpur, 10 in Gaya and 42 in Patna due to AES. Encephalitis, a mosquito-borne disease, claimed nearly 150 lives in Muzaffarpur and Gaya districts last year. A monetary compensation of Rs 50000 will be provided to the families of children who died of acute encephalitis syndrome (AES) in Bihar.
This will be done through the chief minister’s relief fund to the kin of children dying of AES. ”This decision was taken by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in view that most of the victims belonged to poorest of the poor section,” an official in chief minister office said. Bihar Health Minister Ashwani Kumar Choubey said that government is ready to check and control the disease.
“We have alerted district health officials and asked them to provide treatment immediately if such case is found,” he said. The health department has constituted teams of doctors in six most affected districts of Patna, Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, east Champaran and Vaishali, to identify patients for treatment, said principal Health Secretary Vayasji. ”All medical college and hospitals have been directed to provide free medicines to patients showing symptoms of AES,” he said. Control rooms will be set up at civil surgeon level in hospitals and medical colleges, Vayasji added.

There is a lot more to Obamacare than you have listed, even in 2010. COSTS: There has been nothnig but lies about the cost. The budget forcasts are just that, forcasts with numbers presented by the majority party. These costs are only the federal costs that are other than fees, fines, etc. and monitored by the IRS. The state taxes will go up with most of the states in financial trouble already. There has alredy been costs to all of us in less than a week. With companies like AT&T having to pay billions of extra dollars which will show as increases in our monthly budgets.ILLEGAL: There is nothnig in our Constitution that alows the federal government to force us to buy health insurance and it will be found to be so.There are many more problems with this legislation but I will not bother you with them. I am not naive about political ways but I have never seen such obvious and backroom maneuvers to get people to vote YES as with Obamacare. Yes it happens in every session but never like this. People know and will remember in Nov. Fire them all, Dem, Rep, and Indep, and elect all new people who knows whom elected them. Obama didn’t elect them, Reed didn’t elect them, and Pelosi didn’t elect them, we the people elected them and WE will not forget.
