Well you see the problem is this...we Bahamians like our free things...and even though nothing is free in this world, the fact that for better or for worse someone in need can walk up to PMH and get treated, essentially for free, that's what people see. Tell them that all employed individuals now have to pay 5.8% of their income and everyone comes to a screeching halt and screams bloody murder. Myself being one of them. I don't want to pay for that, that hospital and it's services are crap, and another totally mismanaged government entity. Money will get sucked out of the NHI and into select people's pockets faster that you can blink. The government and how governing this country (regardless of parties) needs to change, and change now. The powers that be need to PROVE themselves to be trustworthy...get the FOIA and all that going and in place, earn the people's trust through transparency...THEN look at adding more things if need be...and if taxes need to come to cover it, be prepared to show the finances behind the tax.
That'll do it...pretty much any piston engine twin with an engine failure and the gear DOWN is doomed and almost unflyable. You are going in one direction, and quickly...DOWN. Especially being so low to the ground after executing a flyby on the tower the good Capt was out of luck. With the cards he was dealt, this one ended about as well as you could ever want. He kept a cool head and ditched where he thought best, if he tried to get back to the airport he could be in the pines,or a hole in the marshes.
Sadly will keep the private healthcare thank you very much...but will cut the subsidies we are giving staff. They can still be in the group plan but they have to pay in full.
