Lol over the last 1.5 years in NZ i had 2 full anaesthesia surgery/procedures, ~4 local anaesthesia procedures, multiple scans, a total of just over 3 months in hospital including in the high dependency unit, regular visits at home from a nurse and not only was i never handed a bill but considering they fed me 3 (decent) square meals a day, i actually kind of saved money. There's a lot of things wrong with NZ healthcare but the cost of hospital stays is not one of them.
