It's an echo chamber now though

A fairly quiet one. Especially at 4.35am, fellow insomniac! I guess we don't need to comment, just let SF keep digging. As we don't want their Sinn Fein houses, they've reprinted the little green book and once more took to the podia waving it about like Mao. The plan this time is to tranquilise us with free drugs apparently, just what we need, a nation of hypochondriacs instead of alcoholics.

I suppose it's now so expensive to chill out with a few glasses of wine, €9 a pop along with your €28 chicken n chips in your local 'struggling' restaurant, that it will be preferable to go down the the new SF GP in the new SF clinics (also SF free) and load up with bars, benzos, blues, candy, chill pills, french fries, downers, planks, sleeping pills, totem poles, tranks, zanies, and z-bars, (to consume or sell on the street). That'll keep us happy, though unlikly to be able to zombie walk to the polls and vote for SF. It'll only cost 35 billion too. Now where's me sleeping pills, or a glass of powers even.

Most countries in Europe have woken up to the fact that some level of demand management is needed in health care.

That doesn't mean GP visits costing €70 a pop, but it does mean a limit to weekly visits or charges in the range of €20. Similarly with medicines, not every prescription needs to be filled, so some sort of minimal charge reduces waste. That is the way the rest of Europe has gone or is going, but trust SF to buck normality.

If someone can point to the good news and positive things SF have done, North or South, I’m all ears. Even happy to discuss their proposed health reforms.
It’d be a waste of time with a Parliamentary party that may be smaller than the Greens in a few weeks though.
