I will be discussing with Pete Hodgson former Minister of Health & former Chair Southern District Health Board the current moves to privatise health by stealth with government’s decision to outsource ophthalmology to the private sector as an ongoing example. We follow the American example in our neoliberal economics including taxation which favours the wealthy why not follow their example in Public Health it works so well for the American people! 30% of health insurance claims are rejected in America and health insurance CEOs are loved to death by the American people!
