Today the Plateau State Contributory Health Care Management Agency PLASCHEMA paid an advocacy/sensitization visit to the University community.

THREAD!

Vice Chancellor, Prof. Yohana Daniel Izam led management staff, principal officers and other staff of the University to receive the PLASCHEMA team in the 600 capacity University Auditorium
The VC told the gathering that the health of every member of the university community is of paramount importance to him. He therefore welcomed the idea of a Health Insurance scheme advocated by the agency
Director general of the Plateau State Contributory Health Care Management Agency, Dr Fabong Jemchang highlighted the benefits of health insurance to members of the University community saying it will end the out-of-pocket expenditure on HealthCare.
He said the Plateau state Contributory Health Care Management Agency is poised to strengthen health financing by pooling resources and through strategic purchasing mitigating high out-of-pocket expenditure
He said the agency is saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that all people have access to needed promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative health services of sufficient quality while ensuring that people do not suffer financial hardship when paying for services
The director-general said the agency has developed various programs to cover different segments of the society to include:
1. Plateau state equity health plan for the vulnerable groups such as children pregnant women the elderly retirees the physically and mentally challenged individuals verified orphans and vulnerable and internally displaced persons
2. The formal health plan which is a contributory plan for all public sector employees for state and local government council, students of tertiary institutions and the organised private sector.
3. The informal health plan which is basically a community-based health insurance for primary school pupils and any affordable plan providing a prescribed package of health care services are prescribed contributions accessible to all residents not covered by other health plans
4. The private health plan which shall consist of a variety of packages providing extra healthcare services in direct proportion to the contribution made by the individual. Eligibility will be for those that subscribe and loose approved to benefit by the agency
BENEFIT PACKAGE

All the leftists in the comments like oh no prageru made a good point lol


Polls consistently show conservative support for nuclear energy. It also has high support among elites. The myth that it is unpopular in general isn’t true—although it is unpopular in almost every specific case where they need to site it

Article is old but yeah

This study finds that risk & benefit predict individual opinion the most, followed by the share of nuclear energy already extant, followed by ideology (conservatives support more)

This one finds that journalists attitude affect public perceptions, but that energy consultants, nuclear engineers, bureaucrats, and the military show the highest support for nuclear energy

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya


And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
