In 2022, Lancet Medical Journal issued the findings of a long term longitudinal study on the effects of increased outsourcing of health to the private sector i.e.
Supporters of National looooove the idea of a long term income stream from the public purse, think of ECE, so health will always be a target. The evidence that privatisation doesn’t work is irrelevant to their $cam/$cheme
I first realised they didn't care when I read the 2017 National Party 3 Waters Cabinet document.
This is a PR/marketing government - not a serious one, nor one that appears to genuinely care about anyone other than the elite class - not as Dr Bryce Edwards uses it, but rather the genuine elite wealthy class - including foreign interests.
Sorry Mountain Tui, I'm commenting after only skim read of your words, I have to share that I was flabbergasseded that Reti would ssay that he's not overtly privatising health. When Read that I can't help but conclude that he's covertly privatising health. Sometimes I wish that I was the person doing the interview when such an obvious follow up question presents it self.
The total disconnect between what both Dr Reti and Lester Levy claim to be providing for all kiwis and what is actually happening can only be maintained by the public remaining wilfully ignorant of reality. Unfortunately in this instance along with many other example of duplicitous actions the government have found a willing public. Great article MT!
Any of them changed their mind yet? I do believe that the "echo chambers" are getting stronger e.g. "Labour caused this mess. They're just mopping it up." "The real elites are judges and not the billionaires pulling the strings" etc.
Hope you don't mind me using the bastard word. Can't say I understand swearwords anymore. Damn, bugger, bastard were beyond the pail 30 yrs ago, now they're in everyday usage. The 'f' word is just slang for a glorious activity and the 'c' word is verboten but people are often called pricks. Go figure

Absolutely unconscionable for a NZ government to behave in this manner. Not only death but financial ruination are on their hands. In the states bankruptcy from medical expenses is the second most prevalent cause behind loss of employment. https://www.investopedia.com/financial-edge/0310/top-5-reasons-people-go-bankrupt.aspx
The COC don’t give a toss about New Zealanders. Time they were gone.

Agreed!
Opposite of overt = covert (sneakily, under cover of darkness, by stealth)
I think his words afterwards spoke for itself - he's privatising health but they would rather be stoned than say the words outright for publication.
This government has a track record of unequivocal lies, and I have to credit ASMS for getting even that answer out of him!
I guess it was because David Seymour can't keep his mouth shut and hinted at it as well.
What do we do with a drunken sailor? Not much can be done when they are holding the reins.

They're proving to be evil, venal bastards. As for cluxons KPIs, they're self generated, so utterly worthless.
As I keep asking my Tory acquaintances (stopped calling them mates). Please remind me who it was you voted for??

I tell them I'm not trying to convert them just 'p' them off
