    1. 1.1

      The medical insurance business includes non profit.

      Health needs more funding input.

      Primary care and dental included (the Green Party would act in these areas).

      National is driving business to private hospitals (public funding of ops using its resources – which drives more resources there). ACC also does this to get ops sooner and get people back to work.

      Hope's choice (advocate) here would suit the National Party middle class home owner voter demographic.

      Labour would note this.

        1. 1.1.1.1

          The ACC does it to save money.
