Actually, the reason why our hospitals are full of non-Bahamians is easy. 1) Bahamian nurses make twice the amount in the US, UK and Canada (even adjusted for taxes); 2) Ridiculously better quality of life; 3) Removal of oneself from banana republic Bahamas; 4) Removal of oneself from black crab Bahamians - which most of us are - who hate to see other Bahamians succeed... Nothing to do with a darn work permit. But, my point to John was that you can't legislate your citizens into staying home. In the first instance, as you suggested, one must create an atmosphere conducive for Bahamians to stay home, then go from there.
Are these Bahamians aware that you can pay this bill online - from the comfort of home and free from pptentially contracting COVID-19? We continue to show what a banana republic we are.
And just who does the industry expect will pay? Maybe they didnt get the memo that 17000 former workers filed for unemployment, not including hotel workers! But greedy Pattick Ward, et al, do not care. They just want their money. Shame, shame.

This is not true, Porcupine. No need to insult Bahamians just because, in this instance, someone has a different view point than you.

What about them, John? Are you suggesting that the government should prohibit Bahamians from seeking their "life" in other countries?
