Damn you’re boring. Can never address the facts and instead go on some historical emotional topics that have nothing to do with the topic at hand. PLP love supporters like you as you allow them to get away with their shenanigans.

Sheeple.

No I would have called them more progessive thinkers lol and I would be happy that young people actually cared enough to show up and maybe try and provide their generational thoughts and opinions rather than the washed up old thoughts, etc.

No they didn’t Fake news once again. The $2mn was for every court case that was ongoing (not just Dr. Brown’s). PLP love supporters like you. Allergic to the facts and extremely vulnerable to propaganda.

In fairness, the final picture looks more like a Seniors day out with the poor dears being heaped on the patio and having little say in the matter.

Interesting to see Burt’s boss behind the podium again….. speaks volumes.

Lets keep this short, hopefully Brilliance of Who is astute enough to quickly make the necessary changes:

1) Change current Bermuda Health Council members

2) Change Minister of Health.

Ok, so let me get this straight. Under his leadership, the former PLP administration got rid of the Indigent Clinic at the hospital, which provided free health care to all seniors. At the time he claimed that it did not provide ‘dignity’ to seniors. Now, 2 of the 3 entities receiving ‘subsidies’ from the current PLP administration to the tune of $400 per patient, are owned by him. On top of that these same seniors, many sitting in support of him at his private business, are now paying Future Care out of their pensions and have to decide whether to eat or have medical treatment. Something which they wouldn’t have to do if he hadn’t gotten rid of the Indigent Clinic.

So the person who previously capitalized on seniors for his personal business is now exploiting them again to justify being given taxpayers’ money for something that he took away from the seniors, to begin with. SMH. You really cannot make this stuff up.

It is bit of a conundrum isn’t it?

There are people in the picture pushing for price controls at a press conference where the former Premier’s business blames a form of price control for its demise.

I mean….you can’t make this stuff up.

Back in de day they prevented Dr.E.F.Gordon and Dr.Barbara Ball from praticing their medical duties, so the moral of the story is, if you fight against us and support the people you will pay.

Zane DeSilva says he is there in a private capacity. (Happy to be in photo shoots with the FIFA President). However he is a Minister and part of Cabinet as is Minister Kim Wilson. In the real world, where there are ethics and accountability, by participating in this show with an ex Premier he is showing his opposition to the Government and should require immediate resignation. But this is Bermuda and accountability, good Governance and compliance by Ministers with rules don’t apply. Just think how many buses could be bought, and scholarships awarded, from the cost overruns from the previous PLP term.

Why is government supporting the revenue stream of a company accused of over subscribing tests, as stated on many ocassions Bermuda has a higher rate of CT testing anywhere. It’s almost like it’s an endorsement of messing with insurance companies and driving up rates for Bermudians. Is there anyone that will stand up to his bullying.

Also, MRIs take 15-90 minutes so say 10 per day. So the machine was making $10,000 per day and now it’s only making $7000 per day. Tragic.

Jerome Lynch says that they have no choice but to close their facility. That’s simply not true. The other choice is to abide by the ruling of the Bermuda Health Council and reduce the cost of their imaging services.

This is about making healthcare a little bit more affordable to more people. For goodness sake, the government is offering the affected entities subsidies! What more does he want?

Don’t you want to a “Better and Fairer Bermuda” Dr.Brown”? That’s what your party wants.

Personally I feel that GP fees need some form of regulation. Some of the fees that you guys charge for basic tests etc. are outrageous and one of the, if not the, biggest contributor to our spiraling healthcare costs.

Completely wrong. CT Scan results from hospital are extremely quick….Browns take 2 week. Had scans at both locations recently so I know this as a fact. Dr. browns facility charged me way more too. I called my insurance to find out why as they didn’t cover the whole amount and they told me they would have if I went hospital as it is cheaper.

Explain that…
