Lest anyone forget… Japan has the highest debt to GDP ratio on the planet (and did so even before the March 2011 crisis).
There is no money there to pay for “free” health care.

Free or not I would be distrusting of a goverment who didn’t care if I became ill then wanted to make things right…hmmmmm
Report Comment
Should have evacuated and therefore no medical care would have been required !
Now many will suffer a horrible painful fate by their Gov and Tepco !
Criminal !

I imagine you can conclude which of the two options was cheaper, or more profitable.

If I understand this correctly, they offer free (= IAEA-sponsored healthcare aka research and documentation) if they can build a storage facility in the area.
To research the effects of longterm exposure, as they do in Belarus, I guess.

Don’t let Chernobyl victims go to hell, says MEP (July 23rd, 2009)
“Amid the outcry over cuts proposed in the An Bord Snip Nua report, one small paragraph urging the government to stop helping clean up nuclear waste at Chernobyl has escaped widespread media attention. Volume II of the controversial report by Colm McCarthy advises the government to withdraw its contribution of €1 million a year to EU multilateral funds used to ‘transform the Chernobyl nuclear plant into a safe and environmentally stable system and decommission three soviet-era nuclear reactors’. ‘This expenditure cannot be sustained in the current budgetary climate,’ the report explains.
But the call has prompted an angry reaction from Dublin MEPs. ‘The whole world professed to stand with the people of Chernobyl after the 1986 disaster,’ said Socialist Joe Higgins. ‘The government can bail out the banks but it lets the poor people of Chernobyl go to hell…and it is hell there,’ he added.
Only three per cent of the reactor’s lethal material was expelled in the initial Chernobyl explosion, leaving behind 740,000 cubic metres of radioactive debris inside an unstable container.
Labour MEP Proinsias de Rossa is echoing calls made by Ireland’s best known Chernobyl campaigner, Adi Roche, for the government not to renege on its commitment to make the site safe for the affected people in Belarus and Ukraine. ‘We should not forget our duty as EU citizens to continue our legacy of safeguarding the environment at Chernobyl,’ said Ms Roche.”

the IAEA “free healthcare and experimentation” will run out! look at belarus..
initial funding source in disaster struck poor country..
causes curruption as it is a large source revenue
charities (not recognised in japan under present constitution) step in to fill gap
charities run out of funds give or take thirty or forty years.
what then?

It would be better if they provided healthcare to all residents of Fukushima Prefecture considering that the entire area should have been evacuated. Every single person in the 250km evacuation zone should have health services and relocation plans should have been in operation since 3/11/11. The negligent oafs who wanted to prevent panic never realized that the real panic sets in 1 year after a nuclear event because the health effects begin to set in. They should begin evacuation now if they want to look like they are doing anything to help the victims.

The question is how long the can afford to provide and what kind of healthcare those children can get?
Radiation illness is not just simply cough or fever..
They need to sacrifice human life the save what they still have in hand, at least to last longer than do nothing to those reactors NOW.
It will be all too expensive and Japan will be too poor to afford them in the following next few years to come.
Their government is and will kill all those Children and sick ,when the day is coming.
In 1900s, during that Big quake, they kill Chinese and Korean in tens of thousands.
Now the sign of violence is showing up again in Japan.
Just read reports that some Chinese killed there.

Hmmm,
There is no immediate health threat to people!……..BUT……
when your kids start dropping like flies, we’ll take care of them…..and of course, study them, experiment on them, use them in our pro nuke sstatistics. We will show you there are no ill health effects from radiation. We will teach them to SMILE!
Report Comment
I hope no one has already noticed to ask what happens when those Fukushima children turn 18 years or older?
What then?
Report Comment
Suggested wording fragment for the policy makers:
Free health care for the lifetime of the child, the lifetime of the industry, the lifetime of the government, the lifetime of the yen, or the lifetime of the IAEA, whichever comes first, or until the child turns 18… so long as the child is proven to have been smiling at all times, and so long as the child makes all relevant healthcare claims before March, 2011 (claims made by minors are not acceptable). For Proof of Smile Criteria, see subsection 8.14.A.3.2.

About 10 people have already shot several quite alarming broadsides across Noda’s bow.
I’m wondering if those in charge give any thought to what they do or say?

I hope they do this ‘healthcare’ differently than they do in Russia..
In Russia, they do not measure internal radiation in any hospital. Thus, no radiation exposure or damage can be diagnosed. This means that all radiation caused diseases are diagnosed by government/industry sponsored docs in the box, as general stress, ‘infections’ or excess worry, but NEVER radiation.
The industry says that low dose radiation does NOT cause any of the 2,600 genetically linked diseases created by low dose radiation, despite all of the evidence to the contrary… See Dr. Caldicott MD for medical research, books, videos, etc.
So my prediction is that this ‘promise’ of free healthcare is a smokescreen for another coverup by industry, ‘proving’ that radiation does NOT cause any illness, deaths or genetic problems.
Voila, another success for the nuke industry and absolute PROOF that FUKU did not cause any deaths or illnesses…
So much for faux science, faux news and faux solutions.

Are these the same officials that:
1. Did not want to evacuate the area.
2. Tried to prevent people from buying radiation detectors.
3. Told the public they did not need iodine tablets.
4. Used every method they could to minimize the danger.
5. Did not warn of properly equip workers and press entering the area.
As I read it, they are only *considering* health care. Way I see it, they should pay for medical care for those sickened by the reports coming out on a daily basis.

The best way to hide the radiation effects is to nationalize and centralize the healthcare. Truly insidious.
Report Comment
less nationalisation, as japan is corporate run according to the usa constitution that it presently has, more re-cerporatisation,
if there was proper government like iceland and for instance, the in built democratic transparency would kick in!!
as to centralise, the health care japan needs is nationwide, as being prooved by results coming in.. there will be an impact, it will be on the same format as belarus the hidden…
japan needs free healthcare fot all with paid reiki masters dishing it out!! corporations should be cleansed from japanese soil in a way that radioactivity cant be!!
sorry im a bit of a commie!
but i mean well
peace!
