OK, I think I got everything. There are additional detail photos of all these items, including the brave wallet before and after I cleaned it out, in a set called Wallet Inventory. (I didn’t happen to have any cash in there when I emptied it out. But trust me, I’m filthy rich. Everything I own is made of platinum.)

98.8% OF SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS NOT SUBJECT TO HEALTH CARE SURCHARGE
Image by Speaker Pelosi
Under the Affordable Health Care For America Act, the wealthiest 0.3% of Americans would pay a surcharge on income over certain levels to help make health insurance affordable for small businesses and the middle class, while reducing the deficit. For small business owners, the surcharge is only on net profits —receipts minus expenditures (payroll, business expenses, etc.)— above 0,000 (for single filers) and million (for married filers).
98.8% OF SMALL BUSINESSES PAY NOTHING
The nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation estimates that only 1.2% of small business owners would net that much and therefore pay the surcharge, using the broadest definition of a small business owner (i.e., any individual with as little as in small business income).

This used to be a bank. (Mitsui Sumitomo?) Now the only bank in Y?ga is the T?ky? Mitsubishi UFJ Crosby Stills Nash and Young to the left.
????(poi-sute) = "litter"
The white specks on the street are litter. Our neighborhood is clean by North American standards, but Japanese are notorious litterbugs. Tops on the list are, of course, cigarette butts, cigarette cellophane wrappers, etc. A close second is PET bottles, plastic bags, wrappers, etc. from convenience store food—less a problem here because the nearest convenience store is at least 100 m to the right, on the other side of traffic lights.
One reason that I have have no desire to reclimb Mt Fuji is because the paths are strewn with garbage blithely discarded by Japanese climbers "living in close with Nature"—one oft-quoted Japanese myth.
Drugstore vs. Pharmacy
Drugstores with in-store pharmacies are a relatively new development because, for the longest time, Japanese doctors had two major sources of income: milking the health insurance schemes and dispensing medicine. (Note that the Japanese patients are partly to blame, judging doctors by the piles of medicines issued—antibiotics for the common cold, a viral infection, note.)
Against strong lobbying efforts, the government finally put an end to this double-dipping. Japanese health insurance covers both doctors and medication, so the motivation is economic: the health insurance system is hemorrhaging red ink. At first, that just meant that the doctor’s brother- or sister-in-law opened a pharmacy right next door, but, slowly but surely, we are getting real pharmacies.
Eventually (probably not in my lifetime), the government might even follow British Columbia’s lead and allow pharmacists to replace doctor’s "name brand" (??????) prescriptions with their generic equivalents/betters. The economic motivation is there. All that’s needed is the political will to turn down lobbyists working for the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical manufacturers.
For Amalia
Image by philos from Athens
This one is for Amalia…
"Every patient has the right to being respected and maintaining his dignity."
(Greek law, article 47, L.2071/1992)
"Quacks should be the exception, you guys, not the norm…"
(Amalia Kalyvinou , 1977-2007)
Since the age of 8, Amalia Kalyvinou started having pains. Despite her numerous visits to doctors and several admissions to hospitals, no-one managed to diagnose her in time with the benign neurinoma of her lower extremity, which was the actual diagnosis at that point. 17 years later, Amalia was told that the neurinoma had transformed by then into a malignant tumour.
For the next 5 years, Amalia not only had to fight with the cancerous disease and amputation, but also with a corrupt Greek National Health System: it ignores (by choice) the ongoing patient-to-doctor bribery and insists on time-consuming bureaucratic methods and practices. Besides radiotherapy and chemotherapy, Amalia had to face the financial exploitation by doctors that stood opposite to rather than by her side. On top of her pain, she had to endure the greediness of private clinics and the exhaustingly long waiting queues of the health insurance system, in order to get legal approval for some ridiculously low financial compensation.
Amalia passed away on Friday, May the 25th, 2007. She was just 30 years old.
Before dying, she managed to document her experience and share it with us in her blog fakellaki.blogspot.com/. The promising literature graduate named in there each and every one of the doctors she had to bribe, praising at the same time the ones that honoured the Hippocratic Oath. Her testimony moved thousands of people that stood by her side all the way to the end.
"Amalia’s main aim was to tell her story, so that she could awaken as many people and as many consciences as possible. She mainly wanted to show that there are ways to resist not only the self-regulation and authority of dishonest and heartless doctors, but also the bureaucrats of the Health System."
(Dikaia Tsavari & Georgia Kalyvinou – Amalia’s mother & sister)
According to the Greek law, it is considered a major disciplinary offence for the doctors of the Greek National Health System to:
"Accept bonus and especially any compensation or property grant, for any medical service provided.”
Amalia Kalyvinou fought for things that are taken for granted in a modern European country. Unfortunately, this is not the case for Greece. Continuing Amalia’s effort where she left off, we protest in public and we demand:
* THE STATE TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION TO STOP BRIBERY AND THE INEQUALITY BROUGHT IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS.
* THE NATIONAL HEALTH COMMITTEE TO BE MORE FLEXIBLE SO AS PATIENTS STOP FALLING VICTIMS TO TIME-CONSUMING BUREAUCRATIC PROCESSES.
* THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO ENSURE STRICTER CONTROL ON THE RELATION OF DRUG COMPANIES – MEDICAL SERVICE.
* FULL UTILISIZATION OF CURRENTLY ABANDONED HOSPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE. CONTINUOUS AND COMPLETE SCIENTIFIC TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT FOR DOCTORS AND NURSES.
* CREATION OF A NATION-WIDE ELECTRONIC MEDICAL RECORD SYSTEM, TO SPEED UP PROMPT DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
LET’S END THE HYPOCRISY OF THE ONES THAT GOVERN, WHO PREFER TO ALLOW DOCTORS TO BE BRIBED BY THEIR PATIENTS, INSTEAD OF PROVIDING THEM WITH A DECENT SALARY.
* NO MORE BRIBERY
* NO MORE BUREAUCRACY
* NO MORE LIES
WE DEMAND FREE AND EFFICACIOUS HEALTHCARE SERVICES FOR ALL.
Next time you’ll have to bribe a doctor, just don’t. Choose instead to make a donation. Amalia’s last wish was to contribute to the -under construction- Oncological Centre for Children. (Elpida foundation, tel no 0030210-7757153, email: info@elpida.org,
