Also to be clear the NZ system spends less per capita from the government budget on health care than is spent in the US. We have a much more effective system without the excessive paperwork of the American system. And yes there’s private hospitals and health insurance here and even pharmaceutical advertising. It’s really not very different from America, it just works a lot better. Lower taxes, better security, more benefits.
This is all true, but NZ like the NHS is a bit too public heavy.
The ideal system is a balance between public and private sectors...both complimentary and competing.
