And here comes the privatization agenda of NZ Health just like we warned you
Well, well, well, what do we have here…
Health NZ urges Govt to consider privately-run public hospitals
The health agency is suggesting the Government to consider allowing private companies to build – and potentially run – the country’s public hospitals.
…TDB warned you this was exactly what this hard right, racist, climate denying, beneficiary bashing, disabled abusing Government would do, bring in privatisation by stealth…
Chris Bishop cites private sector spending for infrastructure funding and user-pays
The Infrastructure Minister wants more private sector financing, such as public-private partnerships (PPPs), to pay for major projects.
In a speech to Local Government New Zealand on Thursday night, Chris Bishopsaid he wanted Government grant funding to become a last resort for councils.
“My speech talks about some of the things we’ve been talking about as a Government for six months, and we’ve actually campaigned on – so making greater use of tolls, public private partnerships, things like value capture as well,” he told Morning Report on Friday.
…this mutation of a road policy that National have trotted out slashes public transport infrastructure and is a naked attempt to push poor people off the roads!
This is user pays privatisation of our Roads, exactly as TDB warned you and we are seeing the same scam in public health we saw in public housing with the Government manufacturing a funding crisis they create!
In the Budget, National allocated just 2.9% increase to health services but inflation was 3.3% and population growth 2.6% while an ageing population adds more to costs.
National gave 2.9% for health but we needed 8% to stand still, is the electorate dumb enough to fall for National’s latest manufactured public service crisis to introduce more failed free market reforms?
The Minister says we can’t afford $1.4billion for health but we could borrow $14billion for tax cuts!
Is the electorate dumb enough to believe this?
The political agenda of the Right is to underfund public services and claim privatisation is the solution.
You are being collectively tricked again New Zealand!
But don’t worry, we have a Prime Minister who, and I quote, “I’m rich and I’m sorted”.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Like lambs to the slaughter
However I did note that Southern Cross lost millions on the health side of their business .So premiums will need to double at least in a short time before they go broke .Maybe thats why Luxon is selling his houses so he can buy those hospitals cheaply and turn them into apartments for the homeless .
Thank you Martyn for taking on the Health system blatant under funding by all Parties.
This is death sentence to a section of this taxpaying community.
NZQA have to scale marks up for half of new zealanders to pass NCEA1 exams (or O levels or school C) so when you think of how stupid the average New Zealander is, realise that more than half of us are dumber than that.
Yes, they did it in the power sector Max B promised us lower power prices with more competition and has this worked? Nah! doesn’t look like it as power costs continues to climb despite privatisation. We had user pays in the health care system too and that also failed its inequitable.

What are we paying our taxes for, privatisation does not work, power is one area, and we have done user pays before in health its unfair.
A must see interview.

This is what I voted for. I don’t understand what everyone is complaining about. The Atlas conspiracy theory is pretty funny. Reminds me of the Dems when they bitched about Russian collusion in 2016.
Yeah but your bat shit minor party you voted for, got less than 10% of the vote. If you wanna live like a yank, bugger off to the States, and don’t look back. Don’t bring that Mammonite shit here.
Or the Repubs who think they’re eating the cats and dogs.
Reminds me of the Repubs and Trump when they bitched and continue to bitch that the last election was “stolen” from them and Trump believes he won.

“Recent attempts to request documents concerning Health NZ’s financial state through powers in the Official Information Act had been denied, with officials citing an imminent public release of documents.
It was understood the release could happen early next week. Verrall, who had already received the documents, claimed she had tried to release them this week but was allegedly blocked by Health Select Committee chairman Sam Uffindell.”
Transparency not really Nationals thing.
So Sam is still being a bully

Nationals abject health failure at every level.
I’d be asking Lester Levy for his fee back.
So Sam is still being a bully
I notice today that the government are going to underwrite new house builds for the private sector while no longer building or maintaining any public houses and ar changing a law by stealth that allows Ag to pollute already polluted water ways even further .
And here comes the privatisation of school land and buildings. And once that’s done the private owners will tell us the rugby field at the central city school is surplus to requirements and will be sold off for housing just to keep the rent the school has to pay to cover the interest that the new private owner borrowed to buy the school at a fire sale price.
Of course The Treaty Principles have to be revamped first so maori don’t get First Right of Purchase on any so called surplus govt land.

Labour Greens TPM NZFirst? need to unequivocally state that sales of govt strategic assets like schools hospitals military bases roads rail links ports will be automatically reposessed at the original sale price or a lesser amount.
National promised to lower waiting lists at hospitals, what utter bollocks.
I find myself needing hip replacement like many other older people.
The time given to see a specialist is 300 days and then there is another undetermined wait for the surgery.
After paying tax for 60 odd years one would hope they could get help in their hour of need.
What is being done to health is a scandal
