Australia has one of the best health systems in the world. Far superior in every way to the United States for example. I suggest you check your information and research how the quality of 'socialised' systems such as in Australia, New Zealand, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Denmark ... oh hell really the vast MAJORITY of the Western and Industrialised world lol - compare to the system in the United States? All of those systems are far superior to the second rate multi tier user pays system in the United States. In every way. In Australia at least, we are constantly amazed at the level of false and misleading propaganda that American citizens are subject to on a regular basis from their government and its subsidiaries regarding things such as universal healthcare. You are literally lied to daily. It is something the rest of the world just cannot fathom - how do you put up with the obvious injustice? Really, I am not making this up. Outside the little information bubble so many Americans exist in, this is debated in other countries. You just don't hear about it. And the irony is - our systems here costs LESS and provides a better service than yours. Oh well. Do some research. Have a look. You can have freedom and liberty (what ever that means) and be able to see a Dr when your children are sick without you then having to forgo rent or food for 2 weeks. In fact when you think about it, Life. Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and freedom is made so much better when we can all get access to quality health care regardless of your wealth. Don't you think?
