Australia has nationlized health care. But as I haven't lived there for almost 20 years I can't really comment on it. But the one thing that is obvious is that when health care is controlled by private business as it is here in the USA it is obvious that a large proportion of the money that goes into health care is taken back out as profit and not used for health care at all. Don't tell me that that is in the interest of public health. I don't have any more to say on the subject.


That's why I prefer it to be controlled by the government instead of the private sector. Call it socialist, if you like, but I don't see those making six to seven figure salaries be very concerned about the general population's health. When the small print overpowers the bold print you know that you're in for something that's not on your side.

A couple of years ago I spent three days in a hospital due to a kidney infection. Total cost for hospital stay and medication: $0. In fact, I only had to pay $3 registration fee.
