There is the truth to what he says. But he must also note that the Sarkis too has no experience in the industry. So inexperienced contractors and inexperienced developers is a true recipe for disaster. Furthermore, D'aguilar has to be honest. Sarkis came out swinging at everyone. He blamed the contractors then he blamed the government. When one throws the first blow you should expect a response. How can a person expect to make accusations and not have a response. So stop crying and deal with it.
Why has this become about her? The larger concern for Bahamians is the disgusting level of corruption in this country. It is across the board, regardless of political affiliation. I don't care who was in power when it happened, the fact that it happened and continues to happen is what is sickening. What's the big secret anyway? If there is evidence to support the accusations then pursue it just as you would any other case. The political class get away with too much sh#! in the country.
The US is unable to make an nhi work for a number of complex reasons. It is an over simplification and utter nonsense for such an assessment to be made purely on numbers. If it were that simple then ask this surgeon how small European countries are able to achieve it. True, they pay high taxes but there are multiple factors to the implementation and running of a health system. So tell him to keep is nose out of other people's business and fix the gross disparities in the US health system.
True losing elections has nothing to do with it. Dr. Sands' inability to win an election is not the issue. The challenge is to get an effective NHI system going which will be of benefit and not a burden to the Bahamian people. Though I reiterate the point that Dr. Sands and other senior physicians in this country have a lot to be ashamed of. They've grown their personal wealth for years without thinking about how to change the system for the wellbeing of their patients and the less fortunate in our community. So don't come now telling me that you've had some Einstein lightbulb moment after pissing around in the system for years. Same goes for Gomez and Minnis.
Dr. Sands makes some good points and I would agree that the NHI is not well planned. The issue I have with people like Sands and other doctors in this country is that they have been content to sit in a broken, run down system for the past 50 years. They've complained that PMH is not up to standard and that this and that doesn't work. But as professionals in the healthcare industry none of them have really endeavored to change much. In this country its all about lining ones pockets. We've had doctor after doctor as minister of health and still nothing has been achieved. It indicates to me that doctors should stay out of the political business and try to improve the industry from within. They pontificate about how skilled practioners of medicine they are and what they've achieved in their personal practice. I'm sorry but personal achievement in your small practice does not translate to the knowledge and capability to manage a health system. No one appears to have the guts to say they're out of their league and ask for help from those who know what it takes. Plain and simple we don not have the human resource to run this system. Healthcare is more than just doctors and nurses. That hospital in Exuma is going to be another classic example of government waste without planning. Where are the doctors, nurses and support staff coming from the run that facility?
Been telling y'all longtime these people are in a lil closed group which only looks after them. Don't mind the party colours and bombastic talk around election time. They all living high off the taxpayers.
This is an outrage. How can the government leave the decision on such an important role to linger? WTF? wrong with this country? Captain Bethell should give them an ultimatum.
