NZ GOVERNMENT DOESN'T ASK GOOGLE TO TAKE DOWN SITES

Every six months, Google does a transparency report detailing which governments and nations have asked for user data and requested that sites or content be taken down. Of the nearly 21,000 requests for user data that Google received in the last six months, almost 8000 were from the United States. Google acceded to 90 per cent of the requests, providing data about 16,000 users. Often, these requests are court ordered as part of law enforcement and aim to identify people or access email.

Requests to take down or block websites, of which Google saw around 1800 in the last six months, are most commonly for defamation, or for reasons of privacy and security, but "criticising government" came in third place, showing that governments worldwide seek to delete criticism.

The good news is that New Zealand didn't ask Google for anything.

Just sayin.

Whats the healthcare like in New Hampshire.

Whats the healthcare like in New Hampshire.

It is the 2nd healthiest state. Even though people drink more in NH than any other state. As for the healthcare, it has some of the lowest rates based on a percentage of what people make. However, it's likely in the top 25% in rates in the country. It is just that people tend to make more in NH than other states. Also, there aren't many companies in NH because of a reform that happened in the 90s to force insurance companies to cover a bunch of things. When it is unreasonably expensive, the coverage provided in good. If the condition is serious enough at a car accident or something, sometimes people are flown to Dartmouth Hitchcock in Lebanon (A highly ranked hospital) or a specialty hospital in Boston.

I mostly use a cash, computer-less doctor. I don't trust him for major things but if I am almost certain I know what is wrong with me, he is very inexpensive. Since so few people live in NH, there aren't WalMart or Walgreens quick clinics.

Another bright side is hospital waiting times are much lower than in a lot of the urban parts of the county. Some towns with 10-30k have hospitals. I know someone who recently went to the emergency room at a hospital. He had filled out the paper work and was being seen within an hour of entering the building. The place wasn't packed full of loud or annoying people, either.

There was some reform in 2011 and 2012 but there is a lot more that could be done.
