A refreshing change

It is nice to see a Labour Party appa­ratchik mak­ing the case for user pays. Who would have thought it would have been a for­mer Clark staffer too.

Alfred E. Hip­kins blogs about his recent health expe­ri­ence. Apart for his for­lorn search for a cream to cure his Gin­gervi­tis he basi­cally is say­ing lift the cap, user pays and save health dollars…and he is absolutely right.  There are numer­ous med­ica­tions that would ben­e­fit from this, one being Elidel, which my daugh­ter uses for Eczema, isn’t sub­sidised and requires a doc­tors pre­scrip­tion to obtain mak­ing it even more expensive.

Unfor­tu­nately for Alfred E. Hip­kins, even though Elidel is expen­sive and effec­tive against eczema it is no cure for Gin­gervi­tis.
