ARE YOU SERIOUSLY BITCHING ABOUT THAT? Oh no, poor stupid kiwi. Now you will have to only drink 30 beers a night instead of 40! Imagine the sacrifice! God, you people need doom like a plant needs water. You all have no idea what real life is about. [/quote] LOL, troll Wannabe Kiwi. [/quote] Oh Please. The only people that are "wannabe kiwi" are the thousands of asian immigrants that flood in to New Zealand to escape their slummy-ass countries. Who would WANT to be a flightless, burrowing ignorant, skittish, worthless bird that is almost extinct anyway? :5a: [/quote] Still, a wannabe is a wannabe and will remain a wannabe. He thinks he owns the world and can dictate who is what. But he remains a wannabe at whatever he does, especially when it comes to brownnosing the bosses. [/quote] I find it funny that the AC lives in Auckland area and can get away with hating kiwis without getting the snot beating out of him on the street. He would not last 5min in the south with a mouth like that [/quote] Yeap. Don't know why the bums move here in the first place. [/quote]
Original Message
"Prescription charges will increase from $3 an item to $5 an item in the next Budget, as the Government moves to offset the cost of extra health spending in the "zero Budget".
The new charge will cover up to a maximum of 20 items from January 1 next year, raising $20m in the first year and $40m after that."

It already cost $30 to see the doctor, now more.
Why is it that they raise prices when people are struggling the most during bad economic times, seems unfair
