Remember in the late '90's?<br /><br />We had the option of private accident insurance or ACC. <br /><br />ACC lost most of its 'customers' and was reduced to an organisation of approx 1/10 of its size.<br /><br />The private Insurance companies provided superior coverage for approx 60% of the cost.<br /><br />Labour came in and changed the Act within a year.<br />Back came nanny state as the only provider and that is why we have the mess we have today.<br /><br />Question - Why doesnt National change it back?
