So a 3yo girl with meningitis, who was born in the cook islands, and has never set foot in nz, and whose parents, who incidently are Niuen, who also have never set foot in nz, can receive free medical care but a 3yo girl with meningitis, born in nz, to parents who currently live in nz, legally i might add, and who has lived her entire life in nz...........has to pay?

Then i read this from the NZ Internal Affairs website:
