A group of organisations committed to saving ACC from privatisation has launched the ACC Futures Coalition in Wellington today.

The coalition was formed in response to government signalling it might privatise ACC accounts and open them to competition with private insurers.

The coalition wants public debate around ACC and its future.

Spokesperson Hazel Armstrong says the current scheme is cost-effective for New Zealanders, and no one is making a profit out of injury.

I am on gov., assistance,namely because like others ,I wrecked my back/spine as a nurse.ACC wiggled out in what was a challenge between their medical experts who read reports and my best medical experts who treated me and assessed me.ACC 'won' even in the face of facts.And my income is just enough to survive on.I am far from being the only person in this situation.Payment for being a principaled, hard working, professional nurse over 1968to2001 period.Any comments?

"They are in the gun for how much?"

It's not really that bad unless you believe everything the National party says.

but it's not being privatised, as has been constantly said is that what will be done is allow people a choice of public or private, so those who pay privately don't also have to pay publicly.
