I am a kiwi male that has worked hard for over 35 years built a successful business have paid my bills, taxes ,gst ,and like many are now being shafted by acc after sustaining a permanently life threatening injury at work.things were not good from the start but they did cover my medical bills and treatments up to a point.
I was forced to re-enter the workforce as the financial burden was great and the cover was minimal at best and not covering my bills and living expenses.
when given the option to leave acc and get private health cover I took this option and opted out of the acc system as I was not happy to pay for a service I did not get as most people would have.
