New Zealand's fix for high health costs? Deport obese
Replies

I don't know how I feel about this.
From my understanding, New Zealand has universal health care. If he (and other obese people on visas) are proving to be costly in that regard they really do have the right to deport them. (not that I like it)
Also, I understand that it says he is trying to lose weight but 60lbs in 6 years is a rediculously small amount.
I also take issue with this statement:Some think New Zealand is on the right track. New Zealand may believe publicly shaming the bloated is a solution to the obesity epidemic or escalation of health care costs.0 -
