Despite substantial additional spending and significant administrative change, the Irish health system remains in crisis. First proposed by the Labour Party in 2001, universal health insurance is increasingly being seen as the only way to achieve a better, more efficient and fairer health system.

We are hosting a forum which aims to address these questions, and to progress the debate about an idea whose time has come. Speakers will address the question as to how universal health insurance could be the answer to the seemingly intractable problems in Ireland’s health system, and how could it be implemented?

Many readers will ask- what on Earth is this person on about??

Of course the Government wants to stop violence!!!!!!!!

Does it really??

No, that is propaganda.

Violent men and women are rewarded by the system in secret courts not open to the public.

Secret courts are supposed to keep the childs identity secret.!!

That is not what is being kept secret at all.

Rather- it is the corruption of the state agents, lawyers, judges etc that is kept hidden. read full story / add a comment
