we may have to borrow a little money to achieve that..... I wonder he will do the same after his amateurish NHI will have bankrupted all other insurance companies....
Jeez, she is a QC, the AG and as such a member of the Cabinet, a voter, and a senator. I mean, talking about the perversions of the Westminster System. She should have four different colored hats, so we know in what capacity she is speaking when she is talking. Ahh. let me think and she was the head negotiator on behalf of the little emperor (PGC) with the Big Emperor (The Emperor of China) as well. make this 5 hats....
it is a socialist approach. If you are rich and get caught with a gun, you pay 15,000 BSD fine. If you are poor and get caught with a gun, they book you and let you go and if you are lucky you get your day in court. This is how this country is run. See they will go after the honest people and will let the crooks of the hook. Look at the BOB loans, look at the big accounts at BEC, look at the selective property tax enforcement
Agree. concept of adverse selection. the people that can not afford insurance will sign up for NHI, and these are the people that did not invest in their health in the past, hence are not only the biggest risk, but also the biggest cost factor in the whole system. NHI needs healthy, wealthy people to balance this out. Now the problem is as you pointed out, that the mandatory systems work only in environment where also the healthy wealthy people get something out of the health care model (short or long term) and the money is properly accounted for, else it will be seen as another tax. The current situation is such, that I would think most people that are part of the groups carrying the burden of financing this government through vat, nhi, Duty, etc. are against the system. The government better do everything to win these people over else this NHI will be a DOA: A second class medicare system, run by corrupt doctors and administrators, overseen by corrupt government officials, that has no incentive to provide decent services to the ones of our society that need it. In other words, we will be worse off after implementation altogether.
If some politicians asks "Trust Me", he proves that he knows that no one trusts him. Trusted leaders have followers without asking them to follow. He lost, lights are out of PGC.
