Alliance on Health

Free, universal healthcare fully funded and publicly owned

The Alliance says all New Zealanders should get high-quality health care that is completely free, at every level of care. They say making healthcare free stops people from getting sicker while waiting because they cannot afford treatment, which they say wastes taxpayer money. They want the health system to be publicly owned with no barriers to access.

What they say they'll do

  • Make healthcare free at all levels of care for all New Zealanders
  • Keep the health system publicly owned with no barriers to access
  • Increase tax revenue to fund free, high-quality healthcare
  • Ensure health services are fully funded by the government

Who this affects

People who currently cannot afford healthcare
The party says making healthcare free at all levels removes cost as a barrier to accessing treatment.
Taxpayers
The party says free healthcare avoids the waste of taxpayer money that results from treatable illnesses worsening due to poor access.
All New Zealanders
The party says every person would be entitled to high-quality health services at no cost, regardless of their financial situation.

In their own words

“High quality and free health care.”
“All people have a right to good health care.”
“By providing all New Zealanders with a high-quality health service, free at all levels of care, we avoid the needless suffering and waste of taxpayers' dollars that results from treatable illnesses worsening due to poor access to healthcare.”
