Health Cards? The people want health care Mr. Prime Minister, not cards.
As for accessing medical attention easily abroad - who's that for?
People like Mrs. Calder Hart, for whom Government will foot the bill - and who can jet off at a moment's notice obviously.
Certainly not those like the poor little child who has only just gone to Argentina due mainly to the generosity and public spiritedness of the T&T populace.
More to the point, who's going to make the money implementing the scheme?
The same person who benefited from the street lighting programme? Seeing that full implementation is anticipated for 2012, hopefully everyone will have been able to obtain their new passports by that time so that they can travel abroad and utilise the benefits of this new "card" at the very least.
Seems to me that it would have made more sense to utilise the funds that will be expended on this scheme in upgrading the hospitals and health care centres so that at least people won't be lodged in corridors!
Why is it always a case of the cart before the horse in T&T?
