Is the sugar and salt tax new?

Will tthey hit the target? It depends. Only if the opposition is owing the total balance.

Being uninsured, I have been shocked when attending the doctors multiple times. I always pay the VAT.

All people have to do is drop the insurance and pocket the money.

It is not like they came up with this idea on their own.
This is a mandate from Dr. Tedros, the poet, from WHO.
The tax is supposed to be 20%, imposed on the industry.

It has already been implemented in Barbados.

Mind you, the import duty on juices is already 40%, now add 20% to that. Wow.

It baffles me to think that I this inflationary period, they are going to tax the corned beef and the macaroni and cheese.

> make private healthcare less accessible - and increasingly unaffordable

For reasons other than VAT, this process has benn going on a long time.

I dropped health insurance in 2004.

Now I am systematically dropping medical providers whose billing practices are geared towards insurers, as they bill me the same they bill insurance, thus making money off me.

And while inland revenue is at it, there are doctors who charge VAT , but are not registrants or do not file VAT at all. so, go after them. I just cease to attend these doctors and take my chances at PMH.

Change the sign to: racoon trap and realease service.

Also notice that the union is not active in private schoools, since private schools have too many expatriate teachers.

The expatriate does not do the same work for less financial benefit. More work is demanded of him for less financial benefit, as he is expected to do more volunteer work spend more of his earnings in school supplies and never, ever be late. And then they send him home on the evening of his 65th birthday. Like Boxer was sent to the goo factory.

Very good point about IHOP.
Can't pry people from their pancakes and syrup.

Potato Chips are duty free. But they are excess salt.

Let's look for excess salt: boxed macaroni and cheese, corned beef, potato chips, ramen noodles, canned soup, canned mackerel and tuna. And let's not forget salty sausage.

People rioted when the FNM wanted to remove corned beef from the price control. Let's try on the above.

Banning transfat: no more margarine, you all got to buy butter at 4 times the price.

But let's not stop at the shortening. What else has transfat? most cookies at the food store, including debbie pies. A lot of breads, and other cakes at the food store. cream crakers.

Mr. Minister: read the room. a carton of eggs is 10 dollars, and no one is buying lettuce for 10 dollars.

no sugar tax until the foia is implemented!!!!

> It is a mystery.

But just because the a doctor works in both places, it doesnt mean that doctor will treat you or that they will give you the respect they give a client at the more prestigious hospital.

Honestly, not necessarily. I have received poor treatment at the same PMH level in expensive private venues, which I am quick to drop.

In fact, I might choose PMH because, if I have to be subjected to shoddy treatment, let it at least be less expensive.

Covid does not bite.
I just hope it is not rabies.
