NO FREE DRUGS

ONLY CUSTOMERS who pay, will receive drugs from pharmacists today. This decision was taken at a meeting held by the Barbados Association of Pharmacy Owners yesterday. Under the Barbados Drug Service, patients receive medication free and the Government later reimburses the pharmacists after they submit their claims. However, the association believes payment is long overdue and efforts to get a meeting with the Minister of Health Dr Jerome Walcott have all failed, they said..... "If you usually come to town with five dollars' busfare and two dollars for a drink, then walk with extra to pay for your medication. If you don't have money to pay for all then pay for some, so you don't go without," he said. Source: NationNews.com

I would like to know who does really be responsible for some of government's pissing away of money. This drugs ting has been dragging on long long long. Ok Vote... We have a nice fat wad of government dinero here, what do we need desparately? Mega expensive Showers on the beach? OR, Ensure the People's Health? I guess we know how that vote went. I don't get sick too often, but I does be on the beach every sundah! It just makes sense economically, you know, the greater good of the masses.
We gotta get more drastic about certain things tho. I got gastro and caaaaan't get no medicine? Part de Prime Minister's front step? blwaaahaacckkk. ooops.. did I puke there? so sor... blwaawahhhhahacckkkk. :S. But yuh hear de PM kay bout poor people.. bus fare staying the same! So that mean you can cheaply catch the bus to the pharmacist, and then turn round and pick the hairs off yuh cro*ahem* to pay for your drugs, cuz these drugs don't cost no 10cent. Well, if push come to shove, yuh might gotta sell your kidney to get some liver medicine, or eat some grass and see if it clean yuh out like a crab.

*After reading this post, 382 persons with 'crabs' will find it cheaper to buy a can of Bop than to get the medicine from the pharmacist.
