Turpitude

"Nemo auditur propriam turpitudinem allegans"

« nul ne peut se prévaloir de sa propre turpitude »

Il est pour le moins surprenant que l'un des syndicats signataires de la nouvelle convention médicale, la FMF, annonce vouloir attaquer devant le Conseil d'Etat cette même convention.

Car de quoi s'agit-il en l'occurrence? De plaider devant le Conseil d'Etat l'illégalité de certaines dispositions de cette loi.

Ce qui signifie que M. Jean-Paul Hamon a signé en connaissance de cause (à moins qu'il n'ait même pas lu ce qu'il a signé, ce qui ne vaut pas mieux...) un contrat qu'il savait illégal...

Voilà qui correspond très exactement à ce que vise le vieil adage, à savoir "se prévaloir de sa propre turpitude"...

On peut m'éclairer?

Medtronic and the cost of rhBMP2 failure

A very good example of post marketing evaluation which led to diffrent results than the pre marketing studies.

Cut half the price of healthcare: yes you can.

This is obvious except for the left:



"Of course, in a normal market, if someone discovered how to lower costs by half for a given level of quality or to increase quality by 50% for a given level of cost, that person would have a huge advantage over his competitors. The rivals would have to quickly discover how to emulate the innovator, lest they be priced out of the market. Only in health care, where normal market processes have been systematically suppressed for decades, can widely different levels of efficiency coexist, side by side, for year after year."

Private or public which is the less expensive illness insurance?

Hum, it seems to me that you should first have the choice...

Quite serious!
