Thought To Ponder

Only if we understand why and how certain kinds of economic controls tend to paralyze the driving forces of a free society, and which kinds of measures are particularly dangerous in this respect, can we hope that social experimentation will not lead us into situations none of us want.
F.A. Hayek

 Health Insurance in the Bahamas - An analysis and alternative policy options 
2 August 2006
Nadeem Esmail, Director of Health System Performance Studies at The Fraser Institute

We are pleased to announce the report “Health Insurance in the Bahamas”, a comprehensive study by Nadeem Esmail, the Director of Health System Performance Studies at The Fraser Institute.

The accompanying Health Insurance Report is the only fully researched study from an independent source currently available to the Bahamian public.

It describes how existing services are delivered, analyzes government’s Blue Ribbon Commission Plan and recommends alternatives.

Two questions underlie any proposed changes to the current system:

- How can high-quality healthcare be made affordable to all without sacrificing patient choice?

- How can high quality healthcare be made available to all regardless of ability to pay?

Printed copies of Health Insurance for the Bahamas can be purchased from The Nassau Institute for $20.00 while supplies last.
