Obama vs Romney: President touts fundraising as GOPer questions jobs data

Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney: President touts fundraising as GOPer questions jobs data. BN Wire

Republican nominee Mitt Romney worked to undercut a better-than-expected jobs report and President Barack Obama touted his largest monthly fundraising haul, as the candidates grappled for advantage in a tight presidential race.

Romney, seeking to capitalize on an aggressive debate performance against Obama and question evidence of a U.S. economic recovery, told voters the true unemployment picture is much worse than the 7.8 percent jobless rate reported on Oct. 5, the lowest since Obama took office.

"If we calculated, by the way, our unemployment rate in a way that was consistent with the way it was calculated when he came into office, it would be a different number," Romney told more than 6,000 people at an outdoor rally last night in Apopka, Florida. "You see, if the number of people -- if the percentage of the American population who were in the workforce were the same today as the day he was elected, our unemployment rate would be above 11 percent. This is inexcusable." Romney appeared to be referring to the workforce- participation rate, which was 63.6 percent last month, compared with 65.7 percent in January 2009. That figure isn't incorporated into the monthly unemployment number released by the government, and wasn't before Obama took office.

Obama's Fundraising Obama's campaign, working to recover from his lackluster performance against Romney at the first presidential debate on Oct. 3 in Denver, said the president and allied Democratic Party committees raised $181 million in September, the largest monthly total in his re-election effort.

The president's campaign announced the number yesterday on the social-networking site Twitter. It came a day after the jobs report showed the decline in the unemployment rate in September, offering Obama an opening to refute Romney's central charge that he has failed to create jobs.

The Obama campaign said it received donations from 1.8 million people last month, including 567,000 first-time donors. The campaign has received more than 10 million contributions from 3.9 million individuals.

For the second consecutive day, Romney downplayed the unemployment report and said the drop in the jobless rate obscured a bleak economic reality that only appears to be improving because people are abandoning their search for work.

Still, the Labor Department reported the portion of the population either employed or actively applying for jobs, which in August reached its lowest level since 1981, rose last month. The economy has added 4.3 million jobs since February 2010.

Concern Over Romney Romney has yet to announce his September fundraising totals in advance of the Oct. 20 deadline. Some Republicans close to his campaign had been concerned after their party convention in late-August that contributors were holding back as Romney trailed Obama in the polls and was consumed with several weeks of negative coverage.

That included a leaked video in which he dismissed 47 percent of Americans as government-dependent "victims" who wouldn't take responsibility for their lives or vote for him.

Romney disavowed that statement on Oct. 4 in an interview with Fox News, calling it "completely wrong," and has since been going out of his way to tell voters he cares about all of them and considers them hard-working.

"Person by person, every American deserves a good job," he said in Abingdon, Virginia, an area in the southwestern part of the state that has been hard-hit by coal industry layoffs. "People are hard-working right here in this community. I want to make sure your jobs stay here, grow here and provide a bright future for you and for your family." Personal Side He also has been offering voters more glimpses of his personal side as he works to present himself as a likeable alternative to Obama.

In Apopka last night, Romney told stories of friends he has lost, including a terminally ill teenage boy who asked him to help draft his will, and a quadriplegic friend whom Romney told "I love you" the day before he died.

"It's rare that you get the chance to tell somebody you love them while you still can," Romney said.

That tone contrasts with an increasingly bitter television advertising campaign in which both candidates have been accusing each other of misleading the public.

'Fundamentally Dishonest' "When the cameras rolled, a performance began; but the problem is, that's all it was," says a new Obama campaign commercial that plays footage of Romney at the Denver debate. It charges that Romney lied about his policies in saying that his tax plan doesn't amount to a $5 trillion cut and his health plan would cover everyone with pre-existing conditions.

"America needs a president with character, not a politician who just plays one," the ad concludes.

That message was reinforced by Robert Gibbs, an adviser to Obama, on ABC television's "This Week" program today.

Romney's performance at the debate was "fundamentally dishonest for the American people," Gibbs said. "If you're willing to say anything to get elected president, if you are willing to make up your positions and walk away from them, I think the American people have to understand, how can they trust you if you are elected president." Romney's campaign produced an advertisement asserting that it was Obama who was misrepresenting the Republican's proposals.

"President Obama continues to distort Mitt Romney's economic plan," the spot says. "The latest? Not telling the truth about Mitt Romney's tax plan." Romney Cash The fundraising total Obama's campaign disclosed yesterday includes his campaign committee as well as the Democratic National Committee and state parties, which can take in larger contributions than the candidate.

Through Aug. 31, Obama's campaign committee brought in $441.3 million to $283.6 million for Romney, and had $88.8 million to spend entering the fall campaign. That compares with $50.4 million in the Republican nominee's campaign bank account. When the aligned political parties and super-political action committees were added in, Romney entered September with more cash to spend, $165 million to $101 million.

Yesterday's announcement didn't break down how much money went to the campaign committee, directly controlled by Obama's re-election team, and how much went to the party committees. Nor did it provide a cash-on-hand figure. That information is due at the Federal Election Commission Oct. 20.

In September 2008, Obama, the first major-party nominee since the Watergate scandal in the 1970s to shun federal funding for the general election, pulled in $153 million and the Democratic National Committee raised a further $42 million for a total of $195 million. Both Obama and Romney this year have declined federal funding and are financing their campaigns totally with private donations.

why is the health sector full of imperfections, despite huge investments and increasing literacy rates? Satya Brahma

Satya Brahma, Chairman & Editor-In-Chief of Pharmaleaders opened up the debate with a scathing attack on the dual standard of the Government to encourage domestic Pharma companies & minimize the presence of the Multi-National Companies. Satya Said “ In an era of Globalization, free trade & inter commercial relations which has brought india to the world map, the attempt by the Government of India of not taking the consensus on factors such as FDI, Reforms, Free Medicines policy & Pricing are unfortunate & deplorable. Pharmaleaders, Asia’s Biggest voice in healthcare Communications & Media debated on “Brand India”, Beyond Generics - Leading with Resilience - Coming Back from Challenge and Heading towards Super-power Status is going to be the business mantra of today’s debate. Widely perceived by Industry’s Opinion Leaders & Analysts as the Centre-Point of debating complex & serious issues, pharmaleaders platform witnessed more than 20 top Industry Leaders deliberating on complex issues of this sensitive Industry.  

Questioning the intent of the Government, Satya Brahma stated “why is the health sector full of imperfections, despite huge investments and increasing literacy rates?. There are a number of factors responsible for it — lack of public financing, huge information asymmetry between consumers and the providers, lack of coherence in policy formulation between the Centre and States on the subject of healthcare and absence of proper regulatory oversight. Healthcare infrastructure, insurance coverage, disease prevalence, and patient population are the key fundamentals driving the healthcare industry into the future the current density demand indicated shortfall of hospital beds, doctors and nurses. The estimated requirement by 2025 is 1.75 million beds, 0.7 million doctors and 1.6 million nurse. Achieving this target will require a total investment of US$ 77.9 billion. Pharma market is expected to grow to US$ 54 billion. In 2010, it was cardiovascular and diabetes which are the fastest growing and the two diseases will continue to register 18 per cent and 20 per cent growth in terms of hospital admissions and therapies”.

India’s Most Admired Cardiac Surgeon Dr Hariawala Raises Protest Over Artificial heart’s mockery

India’s Most Admired  Cardiac Surgeon Dr Hariawala Raises Protest Over Artificial heart’s mockery

Healthcare Economist & Eminent Cardiac Surgeon lashes out at marketing Gimmicks played over Artificial Heart by His Contemporary Peers.

Monday, 24^th September 2012, Mumbai, Maharashtra : India’s much acclaimed & World renowned Cardiac Surgeon & Healthcare Economist Dr Mukesh Hariawala  who recently shot to fame with his stunning presentation on Is India prepared for a Artificial Heart Surgery at his much anticipated Keynote Address that virtually stunned the audience who had gathered in large numbers from the pharmaceutical Industry, Medical Professionals at Pharmaleaders 5^th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Business Leadership Awards 2012 in a suburban hotel in Mumbai on 21^st September 2012 organised by Pharmaleaders in association with Pharmexcil, Ministry of Commerce to debate on the Healthcare Reforms in India. The Summit felicitated top 33 performers in healthcare industry.

Satya Brahma, Chairman & Editor-In-Chief of Pharmaleaders opened up the debate with a scathing attack on the dual standard of the Government to encourage domestic Pharma companies & minimize the presence of the Multi-National Companies. Satya Said “ In an era of Globalization, free trade & inter commercial relations which has brought india to the world map, the attempt by the Government of India of not taking the consensus on factors such as FDI, Reforms, Free Medicines policy & Pricing are unfortunate & deplorable. Pharmaleaders, Asia’s Biggest voice in healthcare Communications & Media debated on “Brand India”, Beyond Generics - Leading with Resilience - Coming Back from Challenge and Heading towards Super-power Status is going to be the business mantra of today’s debate. Widely perceived by Industry’s Opinion Leaders & Analysts as the Centre-Point of debating complex & serious issues, pharmaleaders platform witnessed more than 20 top Industry Leaders deliberating on complex issues of this sensitive Industry.  

Questioning the intent of the Government, Satya Brahma stated “why is the health sector full of imperfections, despite huge investments and increasing literacy rates?.

Pharma market is expected to grow to US$ 54 billion. In 2010, it was cardiovascular and diabetes which are the fastest growing and the two diseases will continue to register 18 per cent and 20 per cent growth in terms of hospital admissions and therapies”.

Dr Mukesh Hariawala, who was felicitated the coveted India’s Most Admired Surgeon of India by Maharashtra Governor K.Shankaranarayanan, said that india is on the move & unveiled triple heart therapy in his keynote Address. To quote Dr Mukesh Hariawala “ Artificial  Heart is not the scientific term but it should be VAD ( mechanical ventricular assist device ) as in this operation the native heart is not removed from the chest and replaced. Also Angiogenesis , Stem cells must be correctly explained that it is not a magic wand but will play a synergistic role with conventional and proven bypass surgery. Finally, unlike other Indian cardiac surgeons who want to indulge in sensationalism journalism , I would like my image as a credible surgeon scientist whose mission is to provide accurate meaningful educational information to the Indian readership , doctors and patients. Dr Hariawala wanted to maintain peer respect of fellow doctors and said he had no interest in becoming overnight medical hero in India. Hariawala stated that he wanted to give back  his expertise to motherland India which will help poor patients with heart diseases. He countered Dr Ramakant Panda’s view that “A tiny mechanized device weighing 400 grams may soon give a new lease of life to more than 4 million people in the country who die of heart failure every year. A Mumbai hospital has brought in the technology to implant an artificial heart that takes over the functioning of the original heart and promises to double the patient's life-expectancy. Artificial heart now in India, price Rs 1 crore” as reported in Media”. Interestingly Dr panda was the previous recipient of the Award Title as India’s Most Admired Surgeon at the same platform in its 4^th Annual Edition.

Dr Hariawala unveiled 3 new revolutionary cardiac technologies , Dr Hariawala's pioneering Triple Heart Therapy ( Angiogenesis + Stem Cells + Laser ) best done in a " Hybrid Operation Suite " , VAD ( Ventricular Assist Device ) and Non Invasive Shockwave Therapy in India. The FDA or CE mark approved VAD's, which will be offered to patients as an alternative to Heart Transplantation, has a cumulative worldwide Implantations record which has crossed 10,000. The " Optimal VAD for India " would be one that has a good track record of reliability, minimal complications and competitive shelf price. Elaborating on the long life lithium ion battery operated VAD's which plays the role of a Mechanical Artificial Heart, Dr Hariawala told ANI in an exclusive interview, that VAD is only for patients who are in advanced stage heart failure and who do not qualify as patients for routine angioplasty, stent or bypass surgery. VAD patients following implantation will be able to ambulate and begin enjoying an improved quality of life with certain restrictions, he said.

Storz Medical's unique " MODULITH - SLC Shock Wave " Non - Invasive system has an excellent record with CE certification that employs the principles of " Therapeutic Angiogenesis ". This easy to deliver technology is ultrasound image guided. The controlled targeted level of shock wave energy stimulates the release of cellular growth factors like VEGF helping in formation of micro blood vessels from pre existing ones. This resultant effect is provision of a large pool of oxygen rich collateral vessel network which supports circulation to the failing heart, thus giving early relief of angina related symptoms. The advantage of this technology is negligible incidences of procedural complications, and is best suited for most Indian patients who have diabetes, diffused extensive non bypass-able coronary artery disease and who are in need of repeat bypass surgery but are high risk subjects . The well established EECP ( External Enhanced Counter Pulsation ) technology works on the same principle using inferior extremity cuffs. Boston, US based Dr Mukesh Hariawala is also a Visiting Honorary Cardiac Surgeon at Mumbai's Jaslok Hospital. In addition to performing open heart surgery on many worldwide celebrities, Dr Hariawala along with Dr John Wright had performed the first Bypass operation in London on Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh in 1990

From city hospitals to tiny rural clinics, India's public doctors will soon be able to prescribe free generic drugs to all comers, vastly expanding access to medicine in a country where public spending on health was just $4.50 per person last year. “While welcoming the decision of such move, there are apprehensions that the decision could in fact divide the opinions of the MNC’s & Domestic Pharma Majors as Medical Doctors who have been practicing with their respective practices of established pharmaceutical Companies with the research molecules & have spent years to ensure the efficacy of drugs & undergoing Clinical Trials with the approved laboratories, It indeed will be disastrous considering the process & mechanism of its implementations & Patient Safety will be a biggest Challenge”..

Although there are many successful Pharmaceutical Companies listed in BSE are doing well, however, the attempt by the juries to nominate the mid-sized companies such as Aanjaneya Lifecare, Divis Laboratories, TTK Healthcare,Ajanta Pharma are indeed judicious choices as all four companies are doing exceedingly well in the Healthcare Index. The Public, Investors & Companies who are choosing the Winner will truly be a fitting recognition”.  Satya Brahma, Chairman of the Juries & Editor-In-Chief of Pharmaleaders said “ This category has attracted tremendous attention in the stock market, Pharma Companies & in the general public as corporate ethics, Corporate Sustainability Model are the norms of the day & with so much of scrutiny by the regulators, BSE Award for the Best Return to the Investors will be a tight contest”.               

Kiran Kabtta Somvanshi  of ET said “ Of late there are many Midcaps in Healthcare doing exceedingly well.

Stocks of companies like Cipla, Sun Pharma, Lupin, Wockhardt, Strides Arcolabs, Divi's Labs, Ipca Labs, Indoco Remedies Alembic Pharma and Shasun Pharma have hit a new high on the bourses. Likewise, stocks of Ranbaxy Labs, Glenmark Pharma, Dishman Pharma, Cadila Healthcare, Unichem Labs and Venus Remedies have hit a 52-week high. With macro economic conditions being difficult and most sectors not doing well, the market is chasing all growth-oriented companies in the defensive sectors of FMCG and now Pharma stocks, defensive sector, valuations, FMCGarma.Given the limited opportunity in the market, the Street has now turned to pharma stocks to capture growth and value. Most pharma companies with decent growth performance has witnessed a rally in its stock. 32% of the total 148 listed pharma stocks have flared up to new or 52-week highs in the last one month.The Indian pharma market is growing at 16-18%. Most Indian companies earn substantial revenues from outside by selling low-cost generic drugs in regulated markets. The industry is growing at an average rate of 20-22%. Many Indian companies like Sun Pharma, Dr Reddy's Labs and Glenmark are among the fastest growing generic companies in the world. With the market now chasing the drug company stocks, the valuations of these companies is likely to become expensive. The ET Pharma Index is trading at a price to earnings multiple of 33 very close to the 34.6 P/E of ET FMCG Index.
