Los años que cumple este 11 de junio el Automóvil Club Argentino, entidad madre del automovilismo deportivo en Argentina. Fue fundada en 1904 por Dalmiro Castex Varela y en 1942 dio un importante paso al inaugurar su actual y tradicional sede central de Avenida del Libertador 1850. Es la entidad poseedora de la representación nacional ante la Federación Internacional del Automovilismo (FIA), organismo rector a nivel mundial. En Argentina, el ACA fiscaliza la mayoría de las categorías nacionales y zonales, e internacionalmente organiza el Rally Mundial. En el pasado tuvo a su cargo, desde fines de la década del 40, varias temporadas internacionales de distintas categorías, entre ellas la Fórmula 1 y envió equipos de pilotos a competir en Europa, algo que sirvió de proyección para Juan Manuel Fangio, Froilán González y Carlos Alberto Reutemann.

, or we have to go top down, like Great Britian or France. It is galling that other natoins devote much less of GDP to healthcare, but get about the same results. We are talking 7 percent in some Euro natoins vs double that in the US. There are, however, moral issues involved. Many on the political right believe people should be «kept alive» at any cost, for as long as possible–remember the Terri Schiavo case? A Republican Congress actually held a special session on the Schiavo case, and Bush jr. cancelled a vaction (!) to return to DC. The American public does not want to be told to pay or pull the plug-despite the fact that we have an aging population, and that many people are kept alive even when they are both aged and terminally ill. Some cite figures to the effect that most health care dollars are spent on patients who are both terminally ill and aged. This is a touchy issue, and the party fault lines–as so often is the case–do not break exactly the way one thinks they should. Sensible limits on care for the aged and terminally ill has been re-defineind as «death panels.» As for complete privitization, unless insurers are able to set limits–ie, have private-sector death panels–then insurance will only cost more and more in coming years. There are solutions, but not ones that are particularly comfortable, for any of us.
