Everything free...

When I was pregnant with my youngest we went for a visit for Christmas, 1978...

I took a copy of my medical records with me as I woulod be gone for 6 weeks...

my mother arranged an appointment with her local GP...

I was hooked up to all types of modern machines etc. at the hospital..

The doctor told me that he was sorry but he had to charge me since i was now an American citizen...

The bill came to $5 New Zealand, about $2.50 American...

LOL

When my father had a heart valve transfer earlier in 1978, he was flown in a medivac plane up to Greenlane Hospital in Auckland, spent three weeks there before the operation several weeks after,

Cost - Zip...

When I was a child the doctor made house calls...

Wow. What’s the tax rate like? How is it paid for and do doctors make any money?
