Preparation for privatising ACC?

[RiderInBlack]

Dunno. In spite of fuzzy feelings and data to the contrary it may very well be that we can't afford it. I'd love to refute that, but as you're aware it's a tad tricky getting one's hands on clean raw data.

Mmm hard to beleave that the care is unaffordable as long as ACC shows yearly Profits over a Billion Dollars per year. ACC Broke, yer right

Which begs the question why? surely TPTB know this, yet are trying to change it anyway.

Because in its present form it provides less opportunity for profits for the private sector. Simple as that really.

Especially with high risk clients like motorcyclists. Seriously, it will be a lot harder to sell when there are 100,000 motorcyclists all about to have crashes and claim on ACC (or so Our Beloved Masters believe).

Regardless - it's still better than 99% of health care options, world wide......I wish we had it here....

That 99% had Woodhouse Principled health care systems once. They were sold off to "cover" the wealth of their populations. Now i do find that ironic. But that's a decision to be made by every person in the country
