However, we also wonder why the present government that made a similar deal and sold off our hospital business didn’t buy insurance against Covid for heath care? I mean they made the same kind of deal and have been very critical of the OBA Airport deal even though they didn’t have a better option, and if they knew better , why didn’t they buy insurance to cover the spikes in our health care. The same people MPs that are critical of the airport say nothing about why healthcare has gone up $300+ per month in the last three years. How come if they are preaching about lowering healthcare, the prices keep going up? And if you are going to blame Covid, why didn’t you buy the same insurance that you are critical of the OBA for not buying for the airport? I mean you guys do claim to have all the answers?

The plp has screwed our country of 2 billion dollars and all is well. The hole is so deep we no longer have the ability to get out
get real and take the blinders off we arent playing make believe this is for real

PLP like to ignore that reality.

The Government continues to honour its obligations in this regard, including making this latest MRG payment of $8,451,053.51 to Skyport”

Seriously? “The Government continues to honour its obligations in this regard.” That is news? The minute the PLP Government refuses to honour its legal obligations we are done. The Bermuda dollar will go the way of the Zimbabwe dollar.
