The Honourable Premier is also imputing improper motive. And if he really wants to spend his speech talking about the OBA rather than ad-dressing Bermuda on this issue, that would be most un-wise of him.

I thank the Honourable and Learned Minister for her extensive Statement on Government’s progress on Bermuda’s health system. It is nice to hear about progress being made, particularly in the area of universal health care. Obviously, the Opposition support s universal health care. My question for the Honourable and Learned Minister is in relation to page 17 of her Statement. …

“The Ministry of Health is well aware of the public’s desire to know what is next, and when will UHC ” (which is universal health care) “be a reality?” Minister, my question for you is actually a different question. And that is, What does that reality look like? What does universal health care look like for you? Thank you.

Page 21. Hon. Kim N. Wilson: Sorry. Thank you. Thank you, Honourable and Learned Member. Page 21. Again, with respect to the UHC Steering Committee that I spoke about, insofar as they are the governance structure that everything feeds up to them, subject to what is outlined in 2021, that is what it will look like. April 2024 we will …

You will recall my question was, What does a UHC look like for this Government? Honourable and Learned Minister, at page 15 of your Statement, you say, and again I quote with your leave, Mr.

Yes, thank you. And thank you for that answer, Honourable and Learned Minister. Just again, trying to get what it looks like and who is going to be providing it. You answered about the core care benefits package, and I will come back to that on the second. But you also answered there in terms of the provider, the payor, …

Yes. Now at page 21, and indeed it was part of your previous answer, is this idea of core care benefits package. Now, I understand that this is a work in progress, and you have referred to the timeline. And indeed, July 2024 is the timeline for that announcement. But the question I have is this: At pag e 21, …

To the Honourable Minister, and again I appreciate that this has not yet been decided. So let me ask a sort of philosophical question. Would it not be better, Honourable Minister, for everyone to be entitled to have the same measure of coverage, same level of coverage, rather than thin versus thick, and then figure out how to pay for …

Just again on this idea of the provider. The Honourable Minister had been presenting a former Government suggestion, which was the basic health care plan. This is, as I understand it, a departure from that. We are now trying to use that methodology for un iversal health care, are we? Hon. Kim N. Wilson: Mr. Speaker, if I understand the …

Thank you, Honourable and Learned Minister. Again, just focusing on the potential provider. And I appreciate again that it is a work in progress and that you have timelines and decisions to make in the future. But you did reference the possibility of the provider being an insurer (or insurers, plur al, presumably). 1802 22 September 2023 Official Hansard Report …
