John, If I were to say the same, I'd be asking you why you believe what you read on the type of websites that spew the type of propaganda you are referencing?

Hey John, i find it interesting that you should mention this.

Is the world turning as sinister as it appears?

What else should anyone expect when the countries entire economy is based on exploiting the poor working class.

Unfortunately it's not that simple. What you describe would give us power when the sun is shining. The batteries store power for use when the sun goes down cost a lot. Also, we'd likely need a 1 - 1.5 megawatts of solar cells, since we can only count on the sun for so many hours a day. I.e. if the plant generates 450 mw , when the sun shines that's great, but it also needs to generate double that amount for when the sun goes down.
Costs are likely 3 x what you suggest.
But I agree, in the long run, anything is better than BEC
Perhaps a better way is for everyone to buy individual solar. i.e. $15,000.00 kit for each home, perhaps times 100,000 households = 1.5 billion. Then we can tear down the grid and fire all the useless BEC employees!

hey TalRussell, the evidence is all around you, look at all the corruption, blatant stealing by these government thieves. Thats the evidence. And as you know poor can't really contribute, and the better off have private medical. They need those who can pay, to pay, or there is nothing to steal.

How can you be for this or support this in any fashion? A $212.00 budget per patient to cover care, test , staff, doctors, light bills etc, doesn't take more than 2 seconds of thought to see that under this structure , doctors will have an incentive not to provide any service at all. $212.00 will be eaten up in the first visit and first test the doctor sends out. This is the wrong structure for government healthcare.

So we now know that since the doctors pay must come out of the gross monies collected, these doctors will have incentives to perform the very least care possible and the fewest tests possible. Their survival depend on it, and Its just human nature, well and greed.

Just imagine a small clinic , towards the end of the year, the doctors and staff will have to consider weather they eat, or treat patients. And the patients, some who will now be experiencing "free care" , well they'll be rushing to the doctor every time someone gets a boo boo.

At best , doctors could be paid per patient visit, and costs of procedure be covered directly by government. Otherwise, care offered will be based purely on doctors trying to keep as much money as they can

Disgusting, concocted deal!

Sounds like a suicide to me, why would they treat this as homicide. At worst, maybe accidental death!

Our country, The Bahamas is a pitiful disgrace on so many levels. It's astounding how many of our "Bahamians" walk around with arrogance and pride within our Banana Republic.

yah, good idea bluesky you should be first

how do you know bluesy? Do you have first hand info on what has gone on over the years?
Fred Mitchell is out of his mind in thinking that any government department/ministry has or should have the final say in any decisions.
Anyone who would suggest his department have this much power is a psychopath, and narcissist, as is anyone who supports this dangerous ideology.
