** Update for October 17, 2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ ** New Zealanders deserve better healthcare ------------------------------------------------------------ Because of National’s underfunding of health, GPs are left with no choice but to raise fees. Some GP fees are heading towards $100 per visit and 1 in 6 Kiwis can’t afford to see a doctor. More than 16,000 people have signed our open letter calling on Christopher Luxon to make healthcare affordable again. It’s time to stop the cuts and make healthcare affordable again. Click on the button below to sign our letter and tell Christopher Luxon that you want him to take real action on healthcare. Sign the letter (https://www.labour.org.nz/blog-pages/tell-christopher-luxon-to-make-healthcare-affordable/) Join me and our Health spokesperson, Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall, for a discussion on affordable healthcare for all.

Of 166,000 submissions, 98.7 % opposed it. But National are still going to support it.
