They will go forward on schedule with NHI - cause they don't care about the economy. They have proven that.
As for the $80M for repairs in the hurricane areas - you must understand that the amount is probably divided into $30M repairs plus $50M "repairs" = $80M.
This stalling and "yucking" about the current design may actually work and may actually stop it firmly in the next couple months.
BUT that will only last until all these old heads die off and younger people take the reigns of power - perhaps in another 5 to 8 years. Younger people ain't worried about Blackbeard's well. Blackbeard is dead - they only worried that they might "dead" if they can't afford to buy food. They will say - Bring the development !!!! Bring the money !!! We starving here.
They getting ready to tief his $800 million and he wanna give them more? Man, my good Sir, if you got money to give away like that, I could e-mail you my bank account number please? i promise i will make much better use of the money than your current plan.
Maybe he can start by curtailing the freedom to have more than two (2) children?
That would help a whole lot.
Of course, the church won't allow that. They building new pews to fill every month. Any of them fellas got church construction/expansion contract - they ain't ga starve.
Oh, yeah, and we really miss the annual audits published in the paper when the FNM was in power. Longing for the good old days when officers had fresh boots.
Her Majesty washed her hands of this place recently - allowing her name to be taken off of it. So there is no hope. There was none while her name was on it either.
He says what the economy can absorb. Can he tell us if this economy can absorb more than a $1 tax per person per year at the moment?
The article then says ...As a result, Mr Gibson suggested that a practical solution would be to introduce a “minimal” benefits package, and then “increase the benefits package over time.”
In other words, they going to give free health to babies and pregnant women first - so that they can breed up more unemployed persons even faster than they are doing now.
Finally, "In September, Health Minister Dr Perry Gomez said while the government was “a little behind”.....". Surely he must have meant to say a BIG "behind" ? LOL.
And yet, Japan continues to allow Bahamians to visit Japan without a visa for up to six months at a time. And Jamaica continues to allow their planes to land here and ours to land there.
Those two countries could help us by doing that, and stating on international forums why they are doing it - but it appears that they will not.
