Sharing the health dollar with the private sector.

This is raising blood pressure in the Labour camp and their blog ... which is such a pity that Labourites are so blind with their black and white approach to the subject.
There are many people in the country being conn'd by the health insurance industry with low premiums when they are young and healthy and spat out effectively by greatly increased premiums when they reach retirement age ... makes sense of course becuase they likely need more treatment in their old age. But the truely responsible system would have whole-of-life premiums.
There is only one way this can be done and that is to have either the government or an SOE organisation handle it with everybody paying in according to their means.

The black and white Labour approach is pure ideological stupidity.
