HEALTH; Our averages?

[crack]

Yep I am one of the 4 mil nzer's that is pissed with the NZ system, as I have read are alot of you.

I read the attached in the paper tonight, and my heart just aches, what could we do to help???

What are the averages out the MALES and FEMALES using this web site, that will suffer some form of CANCER at some stage in our lives.

It would be a fair guess that amongst the users of this site, we have DOCTORS, other HEALTH professionals, and Even F---ing politicians.

Also attached is the Ministers of Parliament contacts, those of you being the same Elk as my self, lets annoy the F---ing Mother F---er's.

A big Question I would ask is why is it that 22 OECD countries out of 28, recognise the benifits of this Drug, along with her Practitioner:

The other big Question: Why doesn't the NZ Government? They are sitting on a huge surplus,our money, F---- Helen has just recieved another Pay increase, and this good family suffers, as I guess do others that arn't in the lime light.

Shit they even wanted to build a Billion dollar stadium, and good people die because of these useless F---ER's in Parliament.

Maybe someone among you being a bit more Computor savy than me, could start a NEGITIVE NEW ZEALAND web site, and post this shit, along with our criminals, sentancing, 1080, shit anything that will risk damaging our international image, and our economy will get noticed.

Sorry for the rave: but never never ever give up, radical maybe, but something has to give.

maybe if we paid our politicians more they'd do a better job.

We could pay them less and have more money left over for health, education, roading etc

I guess in the whole scheme their salaries are a mere drop and any savings in paying them less would be swallowed up in admin costs eh?

Surplus us annoying when disability (being my pet) is so hard done by.......but lets not be too negative.....I did get funding (after a battle) for a high low function for Nats wheelchair which is a first as long as my 23 year disabled friend told me so being positive is still the way to go guys.

Life aint perfect, was not meant to be..

that's what happens when you give women the vote and make being a fag legal.

Shit that sum could pay for a heap of prostate blood tests.
At least she knows she got cancer and can do something about it.

so you need a reason............

[Grahameeboy]

What is wrong with Govt's when they leave themselves open like this......to help more in health funding is a small amount......they spent $200 million on the melincocal whatsit drug when the figures show that the rate of those affected is lower than some disabilities and cancer which struggle to get funding.........sometimes I think media has something to do with this.

Twenty nine yers ago, as a youth of 21, I left this country to explore the world. I returned 4 years ago.

Why I stayed away so long is another story that has no bearing on this post.

The whole time I was away I had these memories of "my home". Memories of good times, memories of a relatively happy people, memories of a government that looked after those who had elected them to do so.

In my twenty five years away I have seen, done and experienced the aftermath of some very nasty shit. It wasnt all bad but I did see some of the seemier side of life. The whole time I kept in my head these memories from "home" and they became my rock to cling to. My island of sanity in a world that I felt was rapidly going bad.

I came home at last, and thought that while everything wouldnt be the same, that it would have progressed and evolved into some sort of pleasanter place to live, grow old and eventually die in.

I have spent the last four years learning that all my illusions were just that. New Zealand is just like the rest of the world. Basically corrupt, politically, emotionally, spiritually and morally. It is just a minature version of every other mean lifestyle.

This country led the world in caring for its people. First to give women the vote, one of the first to have a social security system, one of the best functioning nation health systems. Yes we all moaned and groaned about things but that is the nature of the human beast, we want more.

What have we got now? Rapid growing crime, crooked politians, crooked police, a country of people out to grab whatever they can by what ever means they can. Our health system is a joke. People die because they just cant afford the treatment they need. We are fighting over words written before even our grandparents were alive. There is a distinct impression, I personally get from talking to people, of oppression and fear.

What have we heard today? Our elected representatives have given thenselves a payrise. The Prime Minister has taken a pay rise that is alone more than our elderly get to live on for a year. Every day I hear stories of our authorities and their self centred, corrupt practices.

I rant here but I feel passionate about this subject.

What can be done?

I have no idea. I have no magic pill that will make all our problems go away. We need some strong persons who have strong visions of their own, to step forward and take this country in hand. I for one would be there behind them 100%.

Articles and stories like this one depress me in that they are not isolated instances but symptymatic of the whole country and this so called "modern life".

I dont know what to do. My hert bleeds and the world becomes just a little greyier for it.

Ever since I have gotten back I have heard a phrase that I first thought was just a joke but from the number and variation of people who have said it to me or in my hearing I have come to believe it is a real and growing sentiment in this country. What is it?

"COME THE REVOLUTION"

All those who seek to dominate the rest of us beware, it may not be today, next year or in the next 20 years but one day I honestly believe it will come, and those who are not part of it will suffer the outrage of the "silent majority"

This rant must finish. I feel that I am loosing it here and am in danger of becoming boring.

If she lived in Australia she wouldn't have to beg

And if she lived in somewhere in Africa or Brazil or whatever then she wouldn't have ANY chance of getting it.

It's the classic story, well illustrated on the Simpsons at one point;

We can give everyone cancer medicines who need them
It'll cost extra in taxes
Nevermind...

"COME THE REVOLUTION"

Just make sure to be one of the leaders of the revolution - they seem to be the only ones to improve their lives.

Sorry, but I'll support a subsidy for Herceptin, when mens health gets a fraction of the funding that womens get. They can start with free prostate screening for over 50's.
It has to be over 50's, otherwise Dover will be getting screened several times a week.
