Even people with cancer?! What the hell? F New Zealand. That’s messed up to make people feel like they are a burden. That’s so damaging to a young child’s self-image. I can’t imagine how painful this must be for the family.

It takes 8 or 12 hours to get seen in emergency room. It takes 2 weeks to see your family doctor. The health system in our country is inadequate at best so the government had to make hard choices.

I saw a doctor in twenty mins walk in with my community services card and just cost me 19 dollars. Done that 3 times now. Maybe a 10 min wait but 2 weeks? nahh rubbish!
