The public one as a sorry excuse to Labour voters, and the private one to get anything done. Even Annette King recommends going private if you want something done before you're death.Berend de Boerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433622686361556089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-1118864845700249172005-06-16T07:47:00.000+12:002005-06-16T07:47:00.000+12:00And public health care is not cheap.

Don't only think about the $40 you pay to go see a doctor.<BR/><BR/>Think about all those lovely taxes they take - a portion thereof goes to tax. If even $200/month of your tax goes to health you'd have been better of in private healthcare.<BR/><BR/>Robert's right - let them butt out and let us take care of ourselves.<BR/><BR/>Anybody see Kim Hill grill Anette King last night? Well and truely roasted.

The health care provided by the US Private system is vastly superior to the NZ system. The insurance premiums vary between employers and will go down if the F---ing Dems let Bush change the law so that groups of small businesses (and hopefully private citizens) can bulk buy insurance cover.<BR/><BR/>In other words if the goddamned goverment got the f--k out of the way the US health system would be even better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
