Seven provincial-level regions, including Jilin, Jiangsu and Shandong, already provide full coverage for in-hospital childbirth medical expenses within the policy scopes.
Officials noted that the commitment applies to standard medical services. If expecting parents choose premium-priced hospitals, or opt for medications or materials not included in the basic insurance catalogue, those additional expenses will not be reimbursed.
The National Healthcare Security Administration is also planning to expand maternity insurance eligibility to include flexible workers, migrant workers, and people in new forms of employment, among other measures designed to encourage childbirth.
China’s maternity insurance now covers approximately 255 million people.
I received and saw images of the massive rallies in every corner of Venezuela. This is the sovereign force of the country that proclaims with absolute force: Yankee, we do not accept your piracy! No to theft and no to fraud! In the face of piracy, we defend our dignity! Oil belongs to Venezuelans and whoever wants it must pay for it!
Jagdishbhai, Minaxiben Patel and their adult children, Alpesh and Parul Patel, have been ordered to pay £929,621 between them for converting a Greenford Avenue (pictured) property into multiple flats without permission and continuing to let them out in defiance of enforcement notices. The money they must pay includes a confiscation order of £900,217 plus fines, victim surcharges and prosecution costs.
When I check the morning new around 5am on a daily basis – these type of stories literally force me to howl with laughter and disturb the pets which – are not yet officially awake. The dogs start howling, the cats, start prowling, and the birds start chirping (I think they think – they are protecting me). Croydon Council recently decided to create a Disabled Parking Space using “telepathy” as a means to inform everyone living in the effected street. A man returned from a two-week holiday to find a white, rectangular box painted around his car – with the words “Disabled Parking” stencilled under it – and “four” Parking Tickets affixed to his window-screen, each representing an ever greater amount in monetary fines! If I had the time to trawl to a greater degree – I am sure far more examples would present themselves. As matters stand, Peterborough City Council sold an educational buiding worth “£4.6 million” – for just “£1” to a charity in 2020 – and then continued to pay that charity around £800,000 in rent and maintenance charges – so that the building could continue to be used by the Council for exactly the same purpose it was used for prior to the sale.
Indeed, the brain is a later extension of the spine. Prior to the development of cogent human thought – the spinal reflex-arc kept humanity alive as much as possible through basic cause and effect conditioning. Later, cogent thought was layered over this process – giving the false impression that the brain (and will-power) is responsible. Reflex-arcs are so quick – there is no time for “thinking”. The reality is that the finger is pierced and moved away from danger PRIOR to any pain being felt. The brain, with all its moralising, would have you believe that logic, reason caused the reflex-arc and its entire existence was to avoid unnecessary pain. I suspect that when this reflex-arc was first laid-down millions of years ago – the then pre-human life-form could not experience the level of pain humans do today – so the avoidance of “pain” cannot be the motivation for the avoidance of danger.
