| Message | This proposal aims to create a single-tier health service, accessible to all. It will outlaw private clinics primarily used by high-income earners who believe it to be superior to public clinics. We feel that it is an injustice that low-income earners cannot afford to access higher standards of healthcare simply due to their inability to be able to pay for it. - Ruby Williamson, Minister of Health and Social Services |
