The Nassau Institute is about set to release its “Analysis of the Blue Ribbon Commission’s Proposals and an Examination of Alternate Policy Options”.
Few voices have been heard on this subject, but some others are now beginning to consider the governments Blue Ribbon Commission on National Health Insurance Report (BRC Report) in more detail.
It is understood that a “Coalition of Private Sector Organisations” is about to embark on a review of the BRC Report, as is the Bahamas Dental Association and Medical Association of The Bahamas.
In the meantime, The Bahamas Employers Confederation (BECon) has issued two newsletters to their membership that are available at the two hyper links below, and they are worth a read.
National Health Insurance - Comments and Concerns and,
Does The Proposed National Health Insurance Plan Raise False Expectations?.
Many more of these reasoned responses to the BRC Report is needed if The Bahamas is to change the BRC plan for the country’s health care system.
Will we hear from the health insurance companies and other interested parties soon as well? This blogger certainly hopes so.
