I am very impressed with your stamina, Nick - I don't have the stickability the listen to more than 15 seconds of their biased bilge. So, well done, you!

Also a great selection of comments - all from the less desirable 25% of the Bell curve that indicates people's concern for the well-being of others combined with the 'I'm not a racist but ...' ragtag of ratbags.

Cheers, and keep up the good work - you are helping to save my sanity! Marilyn

Excellent thanks Nick. I'm not sure if Alan Mofitt proof read his piece it would be an improvement or not. Probably not.

It is true, "There will never be enough money for Pharmac to deliver everything, but it is nice after many harrowing tales of individual circumstances and unfunded drugs to see news that will no doubt positively impact many lives - so yay! " To ameliorate the deteriorated public health system simply needs a concerted effort (not a petition) by all rightminded activists in every electorate, nationwide, to personally lobby their local MP's and ask them to shunt the millions (sorry $40Billion) in ACC into "Pharmac" & "Public Hospitals" inaaianei

When I was a boarder at MAGS I used to scrump apples from the DSIR orchard over the fence from the farm circa 1966. Old times, good times..........

Hi Mr Rockel, please feel free to screen shot or reply if you wish. First off, apologies that you managed to find the most basic and under-representative comments of the right wing views that inhibit the ZB's cursed facebook page.

A few actual thought out right wing points to make here, actually yeah there is enough funding in the world for all the pharmac wants and needs, this very much welfare focused govt could do it with ease! With a cool record high tax take and the (few )state owned enterprises that turn a profit, are bringing in record amounts of govt profit. Which I'll be honest yeah just redistribute some funding, maybe make pharmac a charity as well allow individuals to contribute and I'm hella sure they would.

I would certainly support additional funding to Pharmac.
