You mean like oil companies, electricity & phone companies ?
I think the NZ ACC system is a major fly in the ointment for insurance companies, whose internal tranacations are greater than the whole of NZ economy.

Aha, I get what you're saying... but why couldn't private ACC still function on a "no faults" basis... So your private ACC provider would pay for your nervous breakdown that I supposedly caused, not mine...

And did I really push you off the road?? Or was that part of your cryptic analogy?? On one hand, I'm thinking... how would you know it was me, on the other, I do own and sometimes drive, when I have to, a family wagon...

Sorry , the more bourbon i drink the more criptic i get !! No ! No-one has ever pushed me off the road !!

But do i detect guilt in your voice ?

It's one step toward privatisation (americanisation) look how easy Key (national) has his/its coalition (Ahem no fixing goes on in government aye) backing them in what they want, who are we to say how it will work !!!
ACC has worked for how long ? Mate you can walk into a physio and have a sore neck rubbed (half the problem) on ACC
(watch this space) ACC is history !!

Maybe !

Yeah, how could I miss that post... only on about 4 threads! So Rodney Hide is keen on privatisation, that's no secret...

but "Why is it necessarily bad?" is my question... Surely, having competition is better than the current monopoly that ACC has?

Well we will find out. But competition is not going to run a few billion dollars for a pitiful return to the shareholders.
It will be run like US Insurance companies & banks, and their mates.
