The State of Florida implemented its welfare reform program entitled Work and Gain Economic Self Sufficiency (WAGES) in October, 1996. Key elements of the program are a two-year limit on cash benefits with a lifetime limit of four years. Within a year, that program's philosophy was emulated at the federal level, and within two years, the State reported that more than 60,000 families had moved off of welfare. This article attempts to discern whether these families are more likely to obtain ‘quality health care’ as a result of these changes.

AbstractSurrogacy has developed in Mexico, especially in the State of Tabasco, mainly as a form of reproductive labour for women with economic needs. In the last 7 years, the national debate and international attention towards surrogacy in Mexico have intensified, the discourse on the need to regulate surrogacy at a Federal level has acquired increasing visibility, sustained by a discourse of modernization. Feminist engagement on the topic has also grown in recent years: the most expert feminist NGOs is GIRE, which in the frames of woman’s autonomy and reproductive rights advocates for the regulation of the market to protect the rights of surrogates, parents and children; other feminists groups call for the total prohibition of surrogacy, regarded as a form of exploitation of vulnerable women and commodification of children. The polarization of perspectives can be read as a competition between two dominant feminist streams: neoliberal and radical. While both fronts are concerned that widespread illegality could affect the surrogacy market and put participants at risk of violations, reformists believe that this risk can be minimized through adequate regulation and that prohibition would just contribute to rendering surrogacy a profitable illegal activity.

AbstractJoubert syndrome (JS) is a rare congenital, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a distinctive brain malformation, developmental delay, ocular motor apraxia, breathing abnormalities, and high clinical and genetic heterogeneity. We are reporting three siblings with JS from consanguineous parents in Syria. Two of them had the same homozygous c.2172delA (p.Trp725Glyfs*) AHI1 mutation and the third was diagnosed prenatally with magnetic resonance imaging. This pathogenic variant is very rare and described in only a few cases in the literature. Multinational collaboration could be of benefit for the patients from undeveloped, low-income countries that have a low-quality health care system, especially for the diagnosis of rare diseases.
