Well its no better now, if anything its worse with a 2 tier race-based health system.
Don't try that one.


Take the time to actually look at the different outcomes for Maori & Pakeha in health.
I have a friend who works in health, who is of Maori descent & who is an excellent position to know the reality of it. So that when she was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, she knew enough to take to the first appointment with her two friends. Two friends who both happened to have the level of knowledge (including one surgeon) which meant they knew exactly which questions to ask on her behalf. Her outcome is excellent, but that's not so for many Maori. All that's needed if more fairness for everyone.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
