My sister worked in a health clinic attached to a hospital in Auckland and noted the vast number of people who are new immigrants lining up for the health system usage. And probably in every hospital there are notices on the walls about help and translators for non-English speakers.

If we just helped refugees that would be good. But we don’t actually care about refugees as such, our wave of immigrants wants large numbers who are low-income workers keeping our wages down for resident national NZs to beneath a living income, and those who have raised money to study here and who prop up the universities and work as well, helping to keep wages low. And then there are the ones who can invest and get citizenship for it; selling a place in NZ, until there will be no places left for NZrs. The world is a big place with billions of people in it. A juvenile level comment but apparently not absorbed yet into the model policies that the PTB work with. Irrational, unsatisfactory, inefficient behaviours for a balanced working nation….

House prices on the move “again” now National are the incoming government. Geez you really have no clue Zacky.

Yes, and the couch surfers will be the lucky ones. People sleeping in doorways, not so lucky. But a drop-out cop-turned-mercenary can turn his hand, or his dogs, to keeping the diminishing shops accessible for the daytime workers and punters who can afford to buy a cabbage for the $9.99 which used to be the price of a good-sized leg of lamb which fed a family for two or three days.

Yeti We have written about usa medical system before. I have read a book written by someone who has researched it; without quoting figures as I remember, the high costs arise because of the government not checking invoices properly from health insurance providers. Lacking good systems, such well known scams of hyped invoices or even fictitious ones get paid. Money for nothing and chicks for free for the health insurance corpse.

It would be good for assertions to be filtered through the findings of this bloke who seems to be in good standing which doesn’t seem open to falsification; and we need to be aware of this happening after the Engineer of the Christchurch CTV collapsed building found to have obtained license? under a dead colleague’s name.)

People will end up dying because they cannnot afford healthcare. Piss off to the USA if you want a privatised healthcare system
