For Aged Care, a subsidy is possible - geras.co.nz/2016/06/30/new-zealand-aged-care-facilities-subsidy

Theres are degrees of free, cheap or normal paying health care in New Zealand.
If you have a community services card you get cheaper doctor's visits and medication. Taxpayer's pay 1% of there income to pay the A.C.C. Levy so that everyone is covered if they receive an injury at work. If you sign up to a doctor and don't regularly visit other G.P's than you to end up getting a cheaper consultation fee every time you go to your registered doctor. Some doctors in New Zealand have a type of family planning agreement so when women are going to the doctor to get a prescription for the pill their consultation is free and a lot of the contraceptive pills are government subsidize so are very cheap. For operations you can go on a waiting list through the public hospital system. Health care in New Zealand is very affordable and efficient - it is best just to do your research as you will find these days without joining a doctors practice, not having a community services card etc. a consultation at the average medical centre can put you back $50 - not including medication.
The NHS is a public sector organistion, funded by the taxpayer and with the main goal of providing a service (as opposed to generating a profit as is the case with organisations in the private sector).
Service industries are important to the economy because they provide many jobs for people. This industry is also important because it gives people time off of their regular day, which relieves stress.
The NHS:National Health Service
The National Health Service provides health care for all British citizens regardless of financial condition. The health care is free at the point of delivery, but it is paid for by deductions from paychecks. As a socialized system, those who work pay for those who don't, or for various reasons cannot work. No healthcare system is entirely free - someone pays for it somewhere along the line.
