Good statement Mrs. Butler-Turner.

But it has to work. All the current NHI will do is pour more money into an already failed system. No one is going to benefit.

The country will be downgraded, as the "international rating agencies" have already said don't do it yet, the cost of borrowing for the country will double and the poor will get even less than they get today.

**The health system must be fixed first.**

Now wait, he has had the McKinsey Report since Nov 2014 and now he says there is a lot for the government to digest?

Wow, this must be some report if you have had it for 14 months and still need more time to digest it.

BTW, please put it on a Website for us all to read.

Tal, my point is that the PM is playing politics.

If he really wanted to save the lives of those who can't afford the health he can and he can do so by taking the necessary steps in plugging the corrupt health system that loses 25% of the money allocated to it.

But he is not serious or he would have already done something about it.

He is just playing politics.

Mr. Turnquest is correct.

BEC is several hundreds of millions in the hole and we have to pay for it. So the rate maybe lower but you still pay more for your power because you pay higher taxes than you need to.

Now let's see, loan to make finance better, loan to monitor health performance, loan to fix crime.

What happened to the reduction in expenditure?

Let's see, $100 million waste in the Ministry of Health.

700 people who die unnecessarily.

PM if you stopped the waste you would have $142,857.14 for each of your 700 patient.

That should save more than 700 lives.

No need for NHI.

There is nothing wrong with the Hawksbill Creek Agreement (HCA). It is a very good agreement. It needs both the government and the Port Authority to honour it.

Many other countries are now using it as a matrix to encourage Foreign Direct Investment.

The Agreement provides much more flexibility than the Industries Encouragement Act (IEA).

The IEA requires you to keep going to government to beg for things so is far too political.

Government should extend the HCA.

Good points Mr. Albury. No one, that I have spoken to, wants government running the Port Authority.

Most are aware that the government, by its indecision, is a major cause of the lack of investment.

It is clear that the FNM is split and that Minnis is the cause.
