An Actuarial Model for Costing Universal Health Coverage in Armenia

By: Rouselle F. Lavado,George Schieber,Ammar Aftab,Saro Tsaturyan,Hiddo A. Huitzing

The Asian Development Bank seeks to assist the Government of Armenia in undertaking major health financing reforms to achieve universal health coverage (UHC) within the context of the Sustainable Development Goals and improving health system performance. Critical to the development, evaluation and implementation of such UHC policies is the need for accurate information of the expenditure implications and revenue needs of alternative policy choices. This report provides guidance in the design, construction, calibration, evaluation, implementation, use, and refinement of a UHC model to assess the expenditure impacts and the revenue requirements to finance alternative universal health insurance (UHI) policies. It develops an actuarial UHC costing model that relies on the most recent and complete health insurance claims data to estimate expenditures and revenue needs for achieving UHC. The report focuses on the development and operationalization of this actuarial model as a tool for assessing the health financing and fiscal implications of Armenia’s key UHI policy decisions.

Clear and Convincing Evidence

My Career in Intellectual Property Law

By: George Gerstman

Intellectual-property cases involve high monetary stakes. A companys existence may depend on its innovations and the lawsuits. Clear and Convincing Evidence provides insight into every phase of intellectual property law and the battles that occur at the Patent Office and in the courtroom. Anyone thinking that intellectual-property is unexciting will change their view after reading about George Gerstmans career in this book. Some attorneys would be glad to have one memorable case during their professional life. Gerstman has one memorable case after another which he chronicles in this biography. The diversity of cases is amazing. The book includes examples such as Gerstman's first case which went from the boxing ring to the courtroom to a case involving the arresting of a technician to get crucial evidence for the case, to being held hostage in Harlem trying to enforce a federal court order, to testifying as a patent expert witness on behalf of some of the largest corporations in the world in patent cases. Find out how the protection of computer software got its start and how videogames became protected by the courts. The book provides an intriguing look into intellectual property law as it has never been seen before.

Last Words

By: George Carlin

This ebook features added multimedia content: an interview with George Carlin’s daughter Kelly about life with her dad, and a tribute video with interviews with Susie Essman, Michael Ian Black, Richard Belzer, George Wendt, and Jeffrey Ross, who talk about Carlin’s incredible ability to make people laugh. One of the undisputed heavyweight champions of American comedy, with nineteen appearances on the Johnny Carson show, thirteen HBO specials, five Grammys, and a critical Supreme Court battle over censorship under his belt, George Carlin saw it all throughout his extraordinary fifty-year career, and made fun of most of it. Last Words is the story of the man behind some of the most seminal comedy of the last half century, blending his signature acerbic humor with never-before-told stories from his own life, including encounters with a Who’s Who of 1970s celebrity—from Lenny Bruce to Hugh Hefner—and the origins of some of his most famous standup routines. Carlin’s early conflicts, his long struggle with substance abuse, his turbulent relationships with his family, and his triumphs over catastrophic setbacks all fueled the unique comedic worldview he brought to the stage. From the heights of stardom to the low points few knew about, Last Words is told with the same razor-sharp wit and unblinking honesty that made Carlin one of the best-loved comedians in American history
