Oranos,

The financial burden is real enough, but the right thing is the right thing. Halali. We can win points on other things, not humanitarian issues.

It might cost money to offer hospital treatment, but while we are giving it free in the north a mainland Turkish company is trying to enforce a business monopoly on treatment in its private hospital. If we charged the Turkish Cypriots would be caught between two hardline shylocks, and I dont like to think of us as shylocks.

Welcome to the EU guys......

EU, there are pluses and minuses. Offering free hospital treatment is in the pluses, in my book.

I never implied it should. What some find objectinable is that the people being treated have not contributed social insurance and are not employed in the south. Both irrelevant in my book, if they are citizens they get treated. On some things there should be no doubts.

Thank you. Perhaps we could persuade Oranus also.

Oranos,

You traveled and you know how things are in some places, like the USA, where a moderate illness can bankrupt a family if they are not properly insured. I dont like to think of any Cypriot beng bankrupted by an illness.

I am predicting and i might be wrong, that the health care of Turkish Cypriots will not be an issue in the elections. Cypriots have given millions of Euros to rebuild a burnt vilage in Greece, a place much farther than Kyrenia or Nicosia, I dont think the will think about the cost of treating Turkish Cypriots as a burden. Not the Cypriot way.
