| Message | Mr Speaker Private healthcare allows people to have a greater choice of care, which will increase competition, ultimately leading to a better service. With a private healthcare service, we can keep healthcare spending quite low and focus spending on other departments, such as Infrastructure and Transport. One of the main concerns with private healthcare is the cost to citizens, however we pay the cost for low-income citizens. Harri Powell, ANP Leader |
