    You’ve also got to remember the US health system is user pays, but most of the NZ health system is free.

    The US system is faster because patients are customers… well insurance is but you get the idea. Ours if free, but prioritised by the needs of the whole. If you go private in NZ you have similar or better wait times.

      10-12 years is a long wait time, even for triage.
