THIS is where our ACC money goes.

ACC is the best FREE to all private health service in the world!

FREE best qulaity care to anyone from high powered business executives down to complete numpties.

If you think all deserve such high priority no expense spared care; then pay for it and stop moaning.

Hope the little tosser is OK and has learnt something from this adventure.

ACC has never ever claimed to be "free"!

Anything that is claimed to be free simply means "someone else is paying"!

The worst aspect of ACC is the fact that it is a "State monopoly" and as such it will always be subject to political tinkering and user (client) abuse!

Under the Woodhouse guidelines ACC could still provide a satisfactory service but that is probably not possible with MMP politicians self selecting a lotto government out of the election result! (pseudo democracy, NZ style)

Maybe if STV is selected to replace MMP there may be a tiny wee smidgeon of accountability introduced into parliament but don't hold your breath on that one either!

ACC is not free and aint it damn well cheap either, it's also Hobson's choice, take it or leave it.

But, alternative insurance was not there for us before ACC and they wont be there for us after ACC, so our best bet is stay with ACC and "make" the politicians return to it's foundation (Woodhouse) principals!

They are supposed to work for "us" but MMP lets them select themselves to govern and do what they bloody well like!

Be careful what you vote for, you just might get it!
