There is one fact that we continue to ignore and that is "we cannot afford NHI".
We should be working towards Universal Health Care (NHI is NOT Universal Health Care, not even close).
Steps have to be taken:
1.Plug the $100 million leak. Think of it, $100 million is spent on nothing. **The Ministry of Health wastes $11,415.52 per hour or $190.25 per minute or $31.70 per second.** That is a lot of health care that should be provided now but is not.
2. Start a program to get Bahamians to eat properly and exercise. **Our Obesity** represents approximately **60% of all health costs** (**Obesity is the main cause of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart problems and cancer**).
WTO is a necessary evil. The reason that we lost much of our financial sector jobs was because we are not members of the WTO. One of Freeport's biggest industrial companies had to cancel a doubling of its plant because we were not members of the WTO.
We must join and do it sooner than later or face more job losses.

Then, and only then, we can talk about NHI.

The fact is that Dr. Minnis has failed, so far, to show that he is a credible alternative to Perry Christie.
If he is the leader of the FNM I, and many others I know, will not be voting FNM.
If the FNM wants to win the election they need to pick a leader, a real leader, and, no, not Hubert Ingraham, I wont vote for him either.
