I am in no way vindicating Brave Davis, the FNM, nor the Bahamian people’s responsibility in this matter. But at least we don’t have children constantly being cut down by machine gun fire purposefully when they attend school. The availability of guns have become far too accessible and prevalent in the U.S. to the point where it’s spilling over into our country.
I’m not saying that successive government shouldn't carry any blame. However, the United States is the primary problem on this issue. Brave Davis, the PLP/FNM, and the Bahamian people are the secondary and tertiary problems. They’re the extension of a much greater problem. The gun crisis within the United States has spiraled out of control in epic proportions so much so that their septic tanks (lack of gun control) are now leaking into our country and most the world.
Naaah, I disagree. While what you have stated may be true, it pails in comparison to the United State’s responsibility in this matter. The United States has created a global arms-trafficking crisis due to their unwillingness to amend gun-control laws. I can write a book on this issue, but I won’t. I will simply say that this crisis falls squarely on the shoulders of the U.S. government and they know it. It is a problem that is much to big for a developing country as small as the Bahamas with a proximity of only 60 miles to the United States.
It is extremely difficult and expensive to police our waters. We’re an archipelago with dozens of entry points into our country. Personnel alone would cost the government tens of millions of dollars. Hardware and software would be another hundred million expenditure. National security is not a cheap venture!
It’s really heartbreaking to see how our healthcare delivery system continues to fail the Bahamian people. Senior citizens without adequate medical insurance should not be an option in the modern world. And while this issue does present many complex difficulties, it is however the government’s responsibility to provide practical solutions. I am by no means demanding perfection as I am consciously aware of how expensive healthcare can be. But the government does need to bridge this gap that has persisted for far too long. Senior citizens without medical insurance is grossly unacceptable!! And we as citizens need to become a “thorn in the government’s side” on this particular issue.
Having said that; Ms. Moxey does need to understand and accept that it is not the responsibility of the general public to donate monetary aid to Mr. Moxey. For the most part, average Bahamians are doing their best to cover their own medical co-pays. Expressing disappointment in those unwilling or unable to render financial assistance just because of her father’s popularity is totally unfair to the general public. For the most part, we are all responsible for ourselves and our own personal well-being in this life.
This is the kind of nonsense that irritates readers whenever people like you make foolish assumptions while simultaneously spreading rumors. His daughter clearly stated in the article that he has Cardiovascular Disease, which has possibly led to a secondary condition known as Peripheral Vascular Disease. Furthermore, any number of heart related diseases such as Congestive Heart Failure or Atrial Fibrillation can lead to blood clots within the peripheral extremities. Who said anything about COVID?
His family mentioned nothing about COVID-19 nor any vaccine related complications. Please stop the nonsense and give the readers something tangible to read rather than hyperbole and propaganda.
Mr. Sands. The healthcare delivery system in the entire Bahamas is prehistoric; not just the family islands. In the past half century the Bahamas hasn’t build one level 1 trauma center or urgent care facility capable of delivering modern medicine; not one! Can you imagine?
