The saga continues. Free health care for all Jamaicans was obviously another careless campaign promise by the Jamaica Labor Party (JLP). Free health care for all Jamaicans can never work successfully.
I tested the system about six months ago. I twisted my ankle and after two days of pain Ivisited my closest free health care facility. I arrived at the Savanna-la-Mar,Westmoreland Hospital at approximately 7:50a.m. My waiting time to see the triage physician was only 35 mins. I relayed my medical problem to the doctor, but the doctor was obviously so overwhelmed by the amount of patients he had already seen and the amount of patients waiting in the Emergency room to be seen, that he never said one word to me. He didn’t look at the affecred area, he didn’t touch the affected area,he didn’t take any vitals,he said nothing to me. All he did was to hand me a prescription, without even asking me any medical history(are you allergic to any medication?). I started to ask a question relating to my injury but all he did was point to the prescription he had given me and told the nurse “next”. My visit to the doctor’s desk lasted about three minutes. I sought out the line to fill the prescription but was told that no more prescriptions would be filled for the day. It was now 8:30a.m. and the daily quota of 100 patients seen at the prescription window had been reached. I asked the person monitoring the prescription line what could I do to fill the prescription and was told to return another day or go to a private pharmacy. ( Free prescription drugs are part of the free health care program).
Bruce Golding knew, when he promised Free Health Care for all Jamaicans, that it was not feasible, as we did not have the financial resources to make such a program successful. Bruce and his cronies played on the needs and wants of the Jamaican people in order to get votes. What a shame. What a disgrace. This is so low ,even for Bruce. Promises,Promises,Promises.
The chickens are coming home to roost.In order to become a Member of Parliment in Jamaica, you must be a citizen of Jamaica and not Jamaica and another country.
Karl Samuda, (the flip flop guy) always speaks recklessly.
I knew it was going to happen. I said it over and over again. Those huge campaign contributions which made the JLP win the General Election. The chickens are coming home to roost.
The saga continues and what’s going to happen to sugar workers and their families? Bruce please tell me.
Two DJs were beaten at a show in Whithorn, Westmoreland. “How come” this show went on until 5 AM when by law it should have ended at 1:30 AM? Special permission given by Whithorn police? According to this police station the fight that went on was not investigated as no one reported a problem at this show. The location of the show is a stone’s throw from the police station. “How come”?
Congratulations, Burning Spear on your second Grammy. Big up to one of my all-time favorite “stars”.
Sugar, sugar, sugar. Bruce Golding when are you going to fulfill your campaign promise to the sugar workers of Jamaica?
Bruce, I told members of your party that free health care can not work in a country that does not have the financial resources to carry out this campaign promise of yours successfully.
Mr. Golding, I am going to be so sorry for you when the nurses start to get down on you for the campaign promise you made to them. Promises, promises, promises.
