‘Why can’t we give free health & education like Cuba?’ asks Edmund G. Maduro
Maduro was speaking on his EGM Show aired on ZROD 103.7 FL on Thursday night July 9, 2015.
"Given the type of diseases that are showing up today and given the contaminated foods that we are eating, medical care can be commercialised to the extent that you and I will have to sell every inch of property that we have in order to pay for our medical care," he said.
He pointed out that in Cuba medical care is free and it is the same for education.
"Why if we are such a successful territory in terms of financial services and tourism etc. we can't do for our people the same as Fidel Castro has done for his people?" asked Maduro.
Elected representatives only care about their pockets
Maduro believes that the people elected to represent the masses care less about them and more about their own financial fortunes.
"You know why? Because the very people we elected to represent us don't really care about us but about representing themselves and are only looking at what goes into their pockets," he said.
Waxing biblical, Maduro noted that the good book warned about this type of government. “The love of money is the root of all evil and greed destroyeth a nation,” he said, noting that this is something he has been talking about repeatedly on his show which has been on the air for a number of years.
He warned the people of the territory that should they not observe and speak out in protest against these things, they will continue along the path of destruction.

Mr E. Maduro & eye for and eye. It is easy to throw out these remarks but remember bvi has no medical colleges
so when funds has to be paid for medical school which are very expensive who pays,would'nt govt have to raise
taxes or implement austerity measures.Remember you are the ones blaming govt for selling out these islands and
crying when certain fees are raised,so would both of you come out on a forum and explain to us how you would do
such a thing and generate the funds for this venture.By the way education is free we only pay a small portion yet we
complain but not when we are buying the latest phones,bags or shoes.
They have over 3 million tourists coming from high end destinations coming to their shores each year. Wait until Mr. bronson starts flying there in 2017 and Carnival starts sending cruise ships there next year. Each province also has at least one International Airport; some have two.
And they turn out 12000 medical doctors annualy.
Take your pick!
The BVI is communist ??? How can we offer FREE education and health care if we are not communist ???
You would have been the first one to jump the air if the BVI turn communist !!!
You just like airing your mouth
You cannot just cherry pick the best parts of a society.
