If truth be told this the single biggest problem foreigners complain about. Bahamian tactic of continually moving the goal posts. You can never get to the finish line.
Sadly, it's my belief that my fellow useless Bahamians deliberately cause this, but there are so many reasons, and it's very complicated.
Unfortunately this problem is not going to be legislated away. It's like everything else. It will take at least a generation of change to begin showing improvement. And that's from when we start. And the start will have to cover many things like education, crackdown on corruption and nepotisim, a change of attitude across the board, ridding society of the dregs who designed this system to their benefit. Clearly this won't happen. Those who reap the rewards don't want to open the shop to competition. Our country, as far as the little people are concerned is doomed.
TalRussel. Once again and as usual you know nothing about what you speak.
Private clinics exist in Canada, not hospital, but under federal law no private medical facility can offer services that are covered under health Canada.
You are a great example of what is wrong with the mindset of our people. You spew the ignorance that you believe to be true, when it's clearly wrong, false, and you have such a closed mind that you fail to reason honestly. With people like you amongst us there is sadly not much hope for change. If you could only open your eyes to learn about the world we all live in, you might just put that pen of yours to good use.
Sadly, like most , ours is a country fully of people fraught with a willing ignorance guiding their every thought and action.
TalRussel. Unfortunately you are sadly mistaken in your praise for the Canadian system. I have fist hand experience as have many family and friends and their system simply does not work for regular healthcare. I.e. weeks to get doctors appointments, years to get to a conclusion/treatment for non life threatening issues. But yes for trauma victims there is imediate care.
What you miss in your analysis is that American care is much better. As an example in Canada if you're waiting forever, as you do, one cannot obtain private care. As it is illegal for money to be an inhibitor to access to care, so therefore even if you have money, one cannot simply pay for a surgery for example , since that would be an inhibitor to care for someone without the money. So Canadians with health issues, and money, go across the line to USA for expedient care.
In USA, if you can pay, all the beat treatments are available. The best in the world.
USA is the better system.
No disputing that everyone does not have unlimited funds , and therefore even in the USA many go without proper healthcare. But that's an issue about funds, not available care.
In fact the key issues is funding, and of course ensuring the funding is spent well, i.e. not sucked up by corporate greed or crony capitalists via scams.
There is no sense in getting excited about a national healthcare system that will not have sufficient funding to function. You simply cannot care for the populous for 500 dollars per capita.
Obviously this is a moral issue that every nation faces, but the results as shown even the most developed nations speak volumes. There is no example of a nation, not even USA, as rich of a nation as it is, that truly wants it's people to have proper healthcare. The ones with money, yes they want full care, and they will pay for it. But unless you can convince those with money, to cough up enough to care for those who don't. You will never achieve proper health care.
The unspoken intent of any goverent is exemplified in the outcome. That in healthcare is not ANY different than the education. The systems are designed to facilitate only enough education and healthcare to keep you producing. Not a smidgen more will be available to the masses, and the government will take as much from the populous as is possible for providing this.
Our education system sucks, our healthcare too. And this is only because that is the intent. We have had succsessive governments that can come up with some very creative and sophisticated scams, to enrich themselves and their friends, without consequence. If they really wanted a smart and healthy populous, they would have one.
The Oracle is correct in saying that " anything that appears free will be in short supply"
But also, we must note that the amounts suggested are no where near adequette to fund full healthcare. Canada has this system, they claim it costs over 6000 CAD per year (about 4500 usd) per person. Their system long since hijacked by corporate greed and crony capitalism; but none the less it doesn't suffice at those costs. With Canadians waiting 6 months to see a specialist and years to get non life threatening treatments. To their credit, if you ate busted up in an accident you will get immediate top quality initial treatment. Though sadly this won't be followed up with expedient therapy etc.
Health care in the Bahamas will be minimal at these prices and even the minimal care will be rationed.
Only a bunch of degenerate sick Neanderthal niggas need to preserve a law so they can rape their wives legally.
What is wrong with our people, our country?
The best ting dat can happen would be to have the biggest hurricane ever wipe all us in the sea. Short of that happening a 100% sterilization of our people is the only way to stop these bad genes and bad ideas from happening.
So was the man killed after he had a shoot out with police? That's what the title indicates.
Does this mean that after having a shoot out with police, the man was killed by someone else? Did the police let him leave and someone else killed him. Did a police kill him?
