NEW MEMBERS ILMA WELCOMES NEW SUPPLIER MEMBERS MANUFACTURING DAY IS OCTOBER 6TH Its focus is designed to inspire the next generation of manufacturers. Host an event! www.mfgday.com Grace Matthews, Milwaukee, WI PCAS, Longjumeau, France Benjamin Scharff, Managing Director bscharff@gracematthews.com Dominique Juillet dominique.juillet@pcas.com Grace Matthews Inc. provides transaction advisory services for manufacturers and distributors throughout the chemical and materials value chain. By design, Grace Matthews has a relatively small staff of highly experienced professionals. A managing director leads every engagement- this means they actually work on the deal day-to-day. In fact, Managing Director Ben Scharff wrote this issue's Market Report found on page 16. PCAS develops and produces complex molecules for life sciences and innovative technologies and offers a growing range of proprietary products and solutions in leading-edge segments. It also includes two very high-potential subsidiaries: Protéus in biotechnology and Enersens in high-performance insulation. Boasting especially high standards, PCAS employs more than 900 people in six countries. LETTER FROM THE CEO Continued from page 3 reining in frivolous lawsuits - needs to be a part of the mix. Hospitals and doctors, in fear of lawsuits, overcompensate with testing and unnecessary procedures that we all end up paying for. This absolutely needs to be fixed. And yes, we need full participation in the insurance system. While the mandate was unpopular with Republicans, we do need a way to get more participation, particularly from the younger segment of the population. But it's not going to be by soaking this debt-saddled generation with high premiums (that they can't afford) to subsidize the premiums of the aged. As the Republicans grappled with drafting their reform legislation, the Democrats expressed phony outrage over being excluded. But Democrats were equally guilty when the ACA was crafted behind closed doors several years ago. Now it should be clear that if health care is going to be addressed, it's going to take compromise AND working together. Americans should demand it. Health care affects everyone, and if there was ever an issue where a full and open process was needed, it's this one. When you call your member of Congress and ask for help with health care, demand an open process and bipartisanship - demand compromise. Then, maybe, there will be a chance of fixing this mess. You use it.
