Healthcare
Privatization of Services
We will undermine the public health system and drive citizens to seek private healthcare or accumulate debt pursuing healthcare. The PNM will actively pursue channels that permit distrust in public healthcare thus dismantling it and enabling the growth of the private health care industry. This permits true economic growth for those who can invest in their health but more importantly those that can make hospitals and loans quickly enough to satisfy the needs of the sick.
Premium Healthcare Tiers
PNM will engineer a health care system that naturally prioritizes those with means granting access to doctors, shorter wait times, and deluxe hospital accommodations. We argue this will incentivize success and leadership, as citizens strive to afford the superior care reserved for society’s top contributors. Aspiration is important for growth and quality care will become the aspiration of the next 5 years for the public.
Streamlined Public Health Funding
We intend to open many clinics but will be very careful about operationalisation. Clinic buildings and hospitals are pillars of development and erecting them and seeing them pristine and unused preserves the integrity and buildings long term while encouraging economic development in the construction sector while reducing equipment maintenance. We believe strongly in free health care but one that ensures the public learns patience and regulates in times of fear and adversity. We will also reduce the economic burden of providing maintained equipment and upgrades by engaging as near to the next election date as possible.
Personal Responsibility Emphasis
Healthcare under a PNM government will stress personal responsibility. We will discourage reliance on government support for medical needs by limiting subsidies and public insurance options. In our view, this fosters a culture where individuals prepare for their own health expenses and make lifestyle choices accordingly, relieving the state of undue burden.
Community and Alternative Care Solutions
To fill the gap for those unable to afford high-end private care we will provide the public health system as a stop-gap measure. This may not match the quality of elite medical services, we present them as efficient community-based solutions that align with our minimalist approach to government involvement in health.
