Universal Health Care Systems (UHCS) on the Periphery of Capitalism

Hans-Ulrich Deppe, MD

Professor for Medical Sociology and Social Medicine

2 years ago your Editorial staff and International Advisory Board took the courageous and correct step to criticise the practices of your parent company, Reed Elsevier, in the hosting of arms trade fairs.(1)

The arms trade industry as it stands has little good to say for itself. It encourages transgressions of the various Geneva Conventions on the conduct of war, wastes public money, catalyses confl ict and war, institutionalises corruption, glorifi es violence, sustains oppressive and genocidal regimes, and excuses the conduct of torture.

Neoliberal economic and labor market policy, stagnating working income and continuing mass unemployment have withered the extent of employment paying into social security.. the next financing crisis of health insurance is pre-programmed.

Dear Friends,

all conferences of the IAHP I opened - I started with some words about our group. We should remind the contents and conditions when we began to work together in 1982. And during the next days we should take in mind , what we have formulated in our STATUTES:
