THREAD!

He said the Plateau state Contributory Health Care Management Agency is poised to strengthen health financing by pooling resources and through strategic purchasing mitigating high out-of-pocket expenditure
He said the agency is saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that all people have access to needed promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative health services of sufficient quality while ensuring that people do not suffer financial hardship when paying for services
The director-general said the agency has developed various programs to cover different segments of the society to include:
1. Plateau state equity health plan for the vulnerable groups such as children pregnant women the elderly retirees the physically and mentally challenged individuals verified orphans and vulnerable and internally displaced persons
2. The formal health plan which is a contributory plan for all public sector employees for state and local government council, students of tertiary institutions and the organised private sector.
3. The informal health plan which is basically a community-based health insurance for primary school pupils and any affordable plan providing a prescribed package of health care services are prescribed contributions accessible to all residents not covered by other health plans
4. The private health plan which shall consist of a variety of packages providing extra healthcare services in direct proportion to the contribution made by the individual. Eligibility will be for those that subscribe and loose approved to benefit by the agency
BENEFIT PACKAGE

I'll bite, Mr. Gray. We can even play by your rather finicky rules.

Let's begin with some of the things you have said about Xinjiang, notably absent from your more recent media appearances, but still present in your blog about your 2014 biking trip.


The following is taken from an ongoing list I keep of people who have been to Xinjiang and written/spoken about their experiences. It is separate from the testimony of detainees and their relatives I also keep. Jerry is on this

Jerry, your article for CGTN, as well as your various Medium pieces, belabor themselves to emphasize the smoothness of your time in Xinjiang. Why did you leave out so many details from your log of your 2014 trip? They seem relevant.

For example, would CGTN not let you speak about Shanshan, the town that evidently disturbed you so much?


Why, pray tell, after noting how kind and hospitable Xinjiang police were to you in 2019 for CGTN—and how you were never told where you could or could not go—would you omit these details?
