Sinopsis
Belief politicians should have skin in the public health system game. Health workers have signed an open letter asking MPs to voluntarily waive private healthcare for themselves and their families while in office. It says healthcare becomes personal when politicians rely on the same EDs, waitlists, and services as everyone else. Former Health NZ Chair Rob Campbell told Andrew Dickens MPs won’t give up their healthcare any more than they’d turn down their next pay rise, but it does highlight a point. He says that it highlights the fact that if you don’t deal with the problem, you’re probably not going to effectively deal with the problem.
