Chairperson, the Minister, as the Minister of Health, inevitably interacts with the private sector. But, on this matter, the department is working towards producing a document through which we intend engaging all stakeholders, including not only the private sector, but the poor as well. One of the countries with the best national health insurance system in the world is the People's Socialist Republic of Cuba. [Applause.]
As a matter of fact, we have many examples to look at. As I said, Ghana, poor as it is, has a lot we can learn from in terms of what it has done. I am talking about a country on our continent that we can actually look to.
Incidentally, it is very strange that even in the United States of America some of the people who are opposing President Obama's national health insurance are not talking a different language from the people who are opposing the same thing here at home. So, what more do you want? The most capitalist of countries wants to introduce a national health insurance scheme. We also want to learn from what the United States is doing and what it wants to do. Thank you. [Applause.]
