Look how long government has been wrestling with trying to legalise the numbers houses and they have still not managed it. And we are asked to believe that they can pull off a massive undertaking such as NHI within the remaining months of their term? The lunatics have clearly escaped from the asylum!!!
The PLP has been deliberately misleading its people into thinking that free and comprehensive healthcare is just around the corner. They would no doubt have been less aggressive in their attempt to implement NHI if BahaMar had opened on time. Now they are finally coming to realize that they cannot roll out even the early phases of the programme within their ridiculous timeline because the country's healthcare system is simply not ready and they have made the fatal error of not engaging the doctors and the insurers. If the PLP had ten years to play with, the party could still not implement NHI successfully! Christie needs to go back to the drawing board with this one and accept that NHI is not going to be part of his legacy. The reality is that the shrinking working class simply cannot bear the enormous cost of paying for everyone's healthcare needs. That is the reality and the PLP knows it. It is time now for Christie and the PLP to come clean and stop deluding their people that a meaningful improvement in healthcare provision is coming anytime soon. (While they are at it they can admit that BahaMar will not be opening this side of the next general election). Let's face the reality of life and work towards building an improved health care system that Bahamians can be proud of. It will be a long road but if all parties collaborate on the exercise and stakeholders are fully engaged then something good could be created. this is not about getting re-elected or about one man's legacy. It is about being honest with the public and taking the time to create something we can all be proud of.
So why exactly does Bahamas, and New Providence in particular, have to offer tourists these days? An empty Pink Elephant on Cable Beach, record murder levels, the worst rape statistics in the Caribbean, a myriad of resort taxes and VAT.
