i mean, so he now gets more money from the government for each and every maaori he manages to enrol.
and maybe he gets more money from the government for each and every poor person, too.
which is why he wants a clinic that targets maaori and poor people, specifically.
because he can't ask them to pay higher co-pays, you see. that's the idea. their personal contribution is capped - but the government contributes more for these people than other people. of course the other people (with the higher government co-pays) are the people the government gives higher salaries to, in the first place, but that's neither here nor there...
and what of the clinics outcomes?
well, maaori and poor people just do have worse outcomes. see, more and more and more and more needs to be poured into their care (to him to look after them and not to them directly) for worse outcomes.
the outcomes need to be worse, because that's the value of the bounty on their heads.
so more and more money goes in... and worse and worse outcomes come out.
ingenious.
or something.
