They had this lady being interviewed the other day. And she's very condescending, basically. Saying that Pharmac has a shopping list of what they want to purchase and there is never enough money to purchase everything on the shopping list and therefore most certainly never enough money to purchase anything that is not on the shopping list.
And who decides what is on the shopping list?
They do.
Behind closed doors. They decide what is on the shopping list. They thereby decide behind closed doors that there will never be enough money to purchase everything that is on the shopping list and therefore most certainly never enough money to purchase anything that is not on the shopping list.
I believe that means that foreign pharmaceutical companies could go to Pharmac 'we will offer you the Cystic Fibrosis medication that every other developed nation provides in the public sector to it's people for $1 for each person who requires it per year' and the Pharmac response would be 'nononononononononono there is not enough money to purchase everything on our shopping list, this is not on our shopping list therefore there is not enough money to purchase this'.Also known as:
'Euthanasia 'medication' is on the New Zealand Government Pharmac shopping list of medication we want to purchase.
How much money do we (the New Zealand Government or Pharmac) need to pay to get you to give us euthanasia medication?
And the developed world says 'a bajillionty dollars you will never have enough money to persuade us to give you euthanasia medication to use on your involuntary voluntary they were asking for it really victims i mean patients i mean hostages'...
And Pharmac says: Then we won't allow you to provide Medications that are not on our shopping list (our list of demands) to the New Zealand people.
Until you have given us everything on our shopping list -- we refuse to supply the New Zealand people with anything not on our shopping list.
That is to say the New Zealand Government and Pharmac are holding the New Zealand people as hostages.
They refuse to supply the New Zealand people with the shopping list or with justification for what is on (and what is off) the list.
Etc etc etc.
