    National prefers tax cuts. How many cochlear implants, ot other
    operations, could be paid for if tax rates were not reduced?

    I choose humanity and will not be voting for National.


    No Rich. What you choose is a bunch of disorganised marxists who's only
    law and order policy is: It's okay if you consider you're living in poverty.

    I'm choosing the bunch who aren't quite as bad as the rest even if they
    do have to take Winston on board.

    You post an individual's anecdote and think that's the basis to override government funding policy? That's because you are a clueless idiot who barks at
    every passing car.

    If the idiot lefties ever get in power, and god help us if they do, they'll realise that in the real world you set policy to allocate a set amount of funding and stick to it, rather than jumping around to suit the latest sad case
    in the media.

    I bet you won't go as far as offering to pay for some of the treatment yourself. But you'll scream to try and get everyone else to pay for it
    whether they want to or whether they can afford to. That's unethical.

    If the left get in expect to see more managers in hospitals and less
    workers. On top of that you'll see the government rising government debt inherited by National from Labour grow even bigger. Rich will justify it
    by claiming it's being done to make life better for everyone :)
