SUMMARY:10 years of Swissmedic
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset congratulates Swissmedic on its tenth anniversary. He recalls that the control of medicines is much older: in 1900\, Switzerland was one of the first countries to regulate it. \nHe answers those who would like Swissmedic simply to adopt foreign decisions: those voices fall silent as soon as a scandal breaks. Mediator had disappeared from the Swiss market as early as 1998\, on evidence of serious side effects. The Swiss authority must also be able to authorise innovative medicines on its own\, sometimes as the first in the world. \nSpeeches on this site \n\n10 ans Swissmedic (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 20.09.2012

SUMMARY:Forum Managed Care\, four days after the no
DESCRIPTION:On 17 June\, the managed care revision is rejected by around three voters in four. Four days later\, Alain Berset addresses the Forum Managed Care symposium. “But the reform was clearly rejected by the Swiss people last Sunday.” \nHis reading of the vote: the people did not reject integrated care; they were afraid of seeing their choice limited and feared for solidarity. “Limiting choice” was heard as “restricting”. The way forward lies in projects capable of winning a majority\, such as the master plan on family medicine. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nForum Managed Care : après le non du 17 juin (French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nSwiss Parliament\, popular vote of 17.06.2012

SUMMARY:27th French-speaking Yodelling Festival
DESCRIPTION:Alain Berset speaks at the 27th French-speaking Yodelling Festival in Plaffeien\, which also marks the 75th anniversary of the French-speaking Yodellers’ Association. He refrains from greeting the audience with a “Jutz”: his abilities lie in politics\, not in singing. \nHe tells the story of the association’s founding\, “typisch schweizerisch”: a quarrel with the German speakers\, then a French-speaking section within the national federation. Yodelling as a bond across the Sensegraben. \nSpeeches on this site \n\n27e Fête romande des Yodleurs (in German\, French-language page)\n\nSources \n\nFederal Council\, speech of 10.06.2012

SUMMARY:Argomed: the managed care reform ahead of the vote
DESCRIPTION:Three weeks before the vote\, Alain Berset defends the managed care revision at the information evening of Argomed\, a company that supports doctors’ networks. He says it from the outset: he will vote yes on 17 June\, out of personal conviction as much as by virtue of his office. \nHe explains the bill: freely formed integrated care networks\, contracts with insurers\, shared budgetary responsibility. The networks have existed for twenty years; according to the Forum Managed Care survey he cites\, four out of five already meet the requirements of the law. \nSpeeches on this site \n\nArgomed : la réforme Managed Care (in German\, French-language page)
