发帖数: 897 | 1 Rep. Tom Price, Donald Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services Secretary
bought thousands of dollars worth of shares in a medical device
manufacturer days before introducing legislation to delay an industry
regulation that would directly hurt the manufacturer, CNN reports.
Price bought between $1,001 to $15,000 worth of stock in Zimmer Biomet, an
Indiana based firm that produces orthopedics products, in March 2016.
According to CNN, the following week, Price introduced the HIP Act, a bill
designed to delay a new regulation that would harm Zimmer Biomet’s bottom
line.
The bill involved a new Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
regulation that changed how manufacturers like Zimmer Biomet receive
Medicare reimbursement. Price objected to the regulation, even spearheading
a letter to Andy Slavitt, acting administrator of CMS.
According to CNN, two days after Price’s letter to Slavitt, Zimmer Biomet
PAC donated $1,000 to Price’s reelection campaign. Three months later,
after Price introduced the legislation, the PAC donated another $1,000.
Larry Nombel, general counsel at the watchdog group Campaign Legal Center,
told CNN if Price “believed in the bill, he should not have purchased the
stock.”

“It clearly has the appearance of using your influence as a congressman to
your financial benefit,” Noble said.
Price spokesman Phil Bando told CNN there’s no conflict between Price’s
ownership of Zimmer Biomet’s stock and his decision to introduce a bill
that directly benefitted the company.
“Dr. Price takes his obligation to uphold the public trust very seriously,
” Blando said. “The Office of Government Ethics has completed an
exhaustive review of Dr. Price’s financial holdings and just as Dr. Price
was compliant with congressional disclosure rules, Dr. Price will comply
fully with the recommendations put forward by the ethics office.” | a******5

标 题: 造勢大會的人數不能代表民意風向
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Oct 25 15:10:36 2016, 美东)
先教你們一個詞：造勢大會。什麼拉勵拉勵的，賽車也叫拉勵啊！中文強大的造詞功能
不用，不經大腦、不顧翻譯品質地亂翻譯，這是在戕害語言表意能力與豐富性。
川普粉的 “革命熱情” 比較高，因為基本上他們就是在革命。所以美新版版主以降的
網民們，個個熱火朝天，連下室瑣男都在捐款！這種情形下，川普的造勢大會能不火
？ 希粉相對淡然，當然參加人數少。被革命熱情動員的人數雖多，但實際民意如何？
這中 間不能劃上等號。
其二，候選人個個風格不一，對於群眾的魅力程度也不同。希特勒就是個很會演講、帶
動群眾的人，他的崛起就在於煽動戰敗國民的激情。川希相比，希拉里是個傳統政客
， 出言四平八穩，力求不出錯，而川普大嘴直言，專揀好聽的說，當然更吸引草根群
眾。 希拉里在川普旋風下，故而選擇不搞大型造勢大會，轉而走零售政治的小型聚會
，這是 候選人的選戰策略，與民意風向關係不大。
民進黨的造勢大會一向火熱，就是以上兩個原因的綜合：革命性、草根性。但成功的造
勢大會，實在與民意沒有很大關係。
（呵呵，中國人碰到三個字以上的名詞，就不會說了。所以共和黨變成和黨，民主黨變
成主黨，要你們說造勢大會，真為難你們了。算了，你們就說 "造大" 就行了 ）

還有一個因素：危機意識。川普落後，一直不被看好，所以川粉的危機意識使得他們願
意站出來。如果希拉里今天各項民調落後，希粉也會全員出動挺她。
所以造勢大會人數多，只是因為粉絲們的革命熱情高、危機意識強、以及候選人的草根
性更吸引草根群眾，這與民意主流如何沒有關係，與普選結果更沒有很大關係。 |
