Question:
Think how much money this would save. If this money was put into health care this would save many more lifes than the people who drown when a ship sinks which is quite rare.
Answers:
That is an established fact which has led the industry to reduce the number of lifeboat drills on ships.
why are Calgary drivers so bad at winter driving?
Liferafts are a much better option.
As for banning lifeboats as a way of saving money - not sure this would work as the profits from the sale of the boats (plus their maintenance, supplies etc) goes to the company that made or supplies them, and would not find its way into the health care industry.
Does anyone know were i can get rules on hgv parking and who to complain to in lancashire?
Hope that helps to answer part of your question? Or looking at your YA! name - was this a wind-up? If so - good one anyway!!
Hang on..........
Think you are a little confused. The boat owner will pay for the life boats on his boat. Not the the Government. Unless you are on about taxing the boat owners the the cost of their life boats so they can't buy them in order to fund the health service..........

Hmmmm, nah.......... not feeling it!
In the same vein. Get rid of speed humps at 1000 pound a piece.
Let kids die in traffic accidents and save the money that would have been spent on humps to treat others, more deserving, with!

How about considering how few people are murdered each year compared to how many die of cancer we disband the police force and use the money towards a cure for cancer?The lifeboats are paid for by the people who own the ship - they are not paid for out of taxes. I suppose we could levy an international shipping tax but I doubt the UN would go for it.
Also the life boats are not actually very expensive to install and very inexpensive to maintain.
Also the reduced safety features would put off tourists and travellers from using the ships and as such would reduce the amount of money the ships would make - by being there the lifeboats actually will bring in far more profit than their cost for a commercial vessel.
What should I do if my car turned upside-down with running engine?
There is more money involved in Football; We could instead ban super bowls and use that money for health care...Other than socialism, in the real world, getting rid of the lifeboat would:
Save money for the Ship builder/owner
Kill the industry of lifeboat building
The money saved would not likely end up in health care
In Texas why is it illegal to not wear a seat belt but legal to ride a motorcycle without a helmet?
In the other hand, IMO health care is more limited by technology than money.

onwhich website can i get a proper information about used two wheelers and four wheelers?
i pulled four dead merchant seaman out of the Mediterranean sea last year in horrendous conditions and all because of the lack of sea survival equipment. so no we shouldnt get rid of lifeboats on ships. think how many sailors around the world die each year becuase of the lack of such equipment. WW2 thousands died in the sea maybe somebody from your family. and its not just the drowning its things like hypothermia and being eaten by sharksshould you pass on the right when driving?
Of course they should be abounded and replaced with "Walk on water Boots".Many ships today have permission to get rid
of their lifeboats and just carry a quick-launched inflatable rescue boat.
To avoid car theft, how can I make a kill-switch for my vehicle?
Others have just an "free-fall" boat which "drops" into the water.

is it illeagal to drive with fog lights on at night?
ever read the real titanic story?... they were short of life boats.. obviously an extreme example but you get the idea...that money would never make it to the government.. if you want to put money into health care stop all the random monuments and unecessary things that happen in our local towns and cities.and that speed bump thing is the dumbest thing i have ever heard.. seeing as i was 5 year old 12 years ago, i am grateful for those maniacs not speeding through my neighbourhood complex.How can i keep my right foot still when using the accelerator whilst learning to drive?
I think you are out of touch with reality. Ships sink every day around the world. It just is not newsworthy as only a few people die each time mainly due to the lack of proper life saving equipment such as life boats/rafts/EPRBS/life jackets/radios etc. Also there is always a ferry somewhere in the world every year goes down with hundreds drowned - they are usually mentioned in the news.I am sure that if you were on a cruise ship which struck a reef (it does happen) you would be the first to rush for the lifeboat pushing aside the women and children
