"*He confirmed that the NHI Act, debated and passed by Parliament last year, does “make way” for the healthcare scheme to adopt a model where it is financed by contributions from Bahamian employers, the self-employed and workers*"

The govt needs to move towards finding the high ranking politician who's using their position of power to extort criminsls, likely potential investors and vendors. **Remember 5000 per govt housing contract? That sends the cost of govt operations higher, then govt coming to us to pay the additional extortion fees**. Imagine a similar corrupt tax on every single transaction the govt conducts. The cost of living would increase exponentially,... oh the cost of living "has" increased exponentially? **Corruption is not some illusive back corner thing, it is having a dramatic negative impact on the livelihood of every single Bahamian and the PM needs to out the cocaine smuggling high ranking politician**

He was minister of national security. A victim came to him to report very serious allegations about powerful men in the country who were known to be heavy political "*donors*". Remember Sebas saying he felt he was already in the parliament or was it cabinet? Why would he say something like that? If I were the minister of national security, knowing there were tentacles reaching into the police force ranks, I wouldnt trust allegations to anyone else either

Would participating in illegal gambling for decades be considered "*doing fool*" or would participating in a human smuggling operation "*just one time*" and stopping because "*I was almost caught*" be construed as "*illegal*"?

On Epstein on the whole, sadly most men dont see anything wrong with abusing their positions to take advantage of women. It's part of being "*a man*"... from the rich to the poor. I saw a line of men one day on break by the roadside and I thought it strange that everyone was congregated at the spot... I drove further up the road and then saw the primary-middle school girls walking up..school was just let out.... As to "*exchange een no Robbery*" many men with powerful influence have lots of money to use as honeypots or traps, the women are drawn in, then the abuse begins. I think young boys need to be retrained to not think this privilege is "*cute*"

What about the nice suits?

Attractive and looks very nice in a suit

It is in the worst state ever, but it's not because the management is worse. It's simply a function of time and steady decline. If you walk around on a bad foot for 20 years, it will be in worse condition by the 20th year... it's a toss of the dice when the foot will no longer be of use... that's called "*a state of collapse*"... a feather could cause the entire thing to crumble.

Bad management could accelerate the decline, definitely corrupt practices that divert the gazillions entering the gates of the city to gatekeeper side pockets and not to improving the state of the hospital contribute even more. **All of our country problems have a foundation in corruption at the top, like for example, the high ranking politician. The LOVE of money is the root of all evil**

"*A lot of people seem to think that because you get a ride share, in most cases it’s cheaper,” he added.*"

Wasnt that the point? The frustration with taxi drivers isnt only that they dont service Bahamians it's also the upsidedown rates. It's crazy that in this country taxi drivers believe they are **entitled** to make 100 dollars an hour and more. It's an unskilled service that's been allowed to go crazy because politicians (whether that's one or one hundred) financially benefit. Imagine if garbage collectors and janitors thought this way. Yes they're also necessary but they're entry level jobs the system works because the rates are lower, start paying them like financial executives and pretty soon bread will be 100 dollars a loaf.

This is as stunt. Bringing nurses or doctors from somewhere else will not fix the b th token system. Saying you're "*assessing*" has to be a joke. How many people have died under suspicious circumstances in the past two years? The givt didnt think it necessary after any of those deaths to assess the system? They're building a new hospital on feces contaminated land, what kind of assessment went into that or the maternity, pediatric limited care? I said months ago, this hospital is not something to play political games with.

The **defense** lawyer has proof, that's PROOF, that a senior RBDF and RBPF officer were involved in a conspiracy involving multiple branches of the armed forces. The head of the police staff association was just convicted of cocaine smuggling. The head of CDU was removed following a web of a multi million dollar armed robbery, 3 murders of cocondpirators and a releases audio tape alledgedly with said senior police officer negotiating payments with criminal to make criminal cases disappear. Said phone conversant was then murdered followed closely by the murder of the last defendant. A senior police officer is indicted on cocaine charges in the US. A junior police officer was caught on video extorting a tourist.... **what is there to be offended about? The conduct of members of the armed forces or that someone called it out?**

Corruption pervades based on "**who**" is involved...and last years tales show a line of corrupt senior police officers.

"*how to move to a livable wage*"

**As long as govt sees the need to continue dual taxation of Customs Duties and VAT that the PLP promised would not happen**, and continue the trend of exponential tax increases, any **talk of a liveable wage is completely ridiculous**. Why? Just look at Halkitis saying the VAT removal would be funded by growth then the PHA claiming they have no money to pay overtime. This administration's head doesnt know its butt has diarrhea
