Reading the thread in Ask Reddit about how the ACA affects people makes me so grateful for Medicare

Australians shouldn't have universal healthcare, on the off chance that it is leaving the citizens pockets. Nobody ought to be compelled to pay for somebody elses' things. We citizens as of now pay for extravagances, for example, telephones, and mobile phones. You can have each fundamental thing you have to live, and be given more things by the administration. Dislike individuals are running out in the city and kicking the bucket. Nobody is moved in the opposite direction of a crisis room. The UK's NHS makes you hold up 3 months+ to have an existence sparing surgery. Our present framework is terrible, however an all inclusive framework will make Australians poorer, and live significantly shorter lives. I would be for it IF this Universal Health Care was not leaving the citizens pockets. It's not reasonable; I go to work, and I buckle down! I don't do that with a specific end goal to pay for human services for the individuals who pick not to work or land a position all alone. Our present social insurance framework is working fine and dandy, why transform it? Apologies, yet I need to ensure my future kids have the best medicinal services. It's my very own obligation to guarantee their human services. I'm not going to pay for the human services of some person who didn't have a craving for getting off his couch and turning off his computer games and landing a job. Under universal health care, medical specialists wouldn't be spurred to work much either. the capacity to guarantee that my future kid gets a decent specialist - or even guarantee that a specialist even observes them before the finish of the decade!
