>>OK: scripts cost a maximum $15, less if you're a frequent user. Oh, and if I travel to Australia or Europe, my healthcare is covered wherever I go at no extra cost. And dental care is free with no insurance up to 18 years of age. And most lab tests are free, and cervical/breast screening is free, as is care during/after pregnancy. Oh, better not leave this out: free contraception is available, but many women prefer to pay. ;-)

>Boy are you lucky you are an island on the other side of the world. Put nz on one of our borders and you're gonna have a big "undocumented resident" problem <bg> ( I'm even thinking of going to OZ and building a boat ... )

Misinformation does wonders to protect a border too, we have almost the same "features" described by John here, and we do not see you guys flooding our borders, and I think we should not worry as long as you guys think we live in igloos among polar bears :)
