Our health system seems to be falling apart

[harm_less]

Agreed, just such a shame that none of the billions blown on covid didn't go into the health system instead.

The billions that were spend in the Covid response were instrumental in saving our health system from being overwhelmed by rampant spread of the virus unlike the situation that occurred in many countries such as the UK. Just because we weren't building new hospitals flat stick doesn't mean the health system was abandoned. Our isolation, social distancing and support of businesses did a fine job of putting our economy on a far stronger footing post-Covid than most OECD countries despite Luxon and co's ongoing accusations of financial mismanagement.
