You live on a shitehole patch of land shared wih other countries.
I live on an island. My ancestors came from islands (UK Ireland)


Canada rates closer to AU than USA, both countries are not
in our ballpark.

Obama wants .AU Medicare. If he can implement it good on
him - I like the guy. There are a few gotchas in that. We are finding
Medicare are cutting back. Hell I was a patient in hospital listening
to a doctor telling a patient "You are well - out of here tommorow".
The sad fact is that patient was using that hospital as a hotel - he
told me (I"m fed, washed - it's much better than home)

I make judgements about what I see and are correct at that time.

My overall eeling is world is going to shite, pollies can only make a
1984

i've just been reading about your health care system. it seems pretty
similar to ours, except you've got a 1.5% "health tax" levy (ours is funded
from general revenue) and you have some kind of hornswoggle where the
patient still has to pay between 15% and 25% of the bill for GP and
specialist services. yikes. in canada the patient doesn't pay anything.

here too. back in the 80s we could go to the doctor and get a wart removed
for nothing. now it falls under cosmetic procedure and we pay out of pocket.
eye exams are no longer covered except for people with eye-threatening
conditions. annoyingly, the PSA blood test, widely used as an early
detection tool for prostatic cancer, isn't covered. the fee is currently $30
and edging upward like everything else. (odd how nothing ever edges down.)

every public benefit system is going to have people who abuse it. it's
possibly the only valid objection to having public benefit systems, and an
area that calls for continuous vigilance when you have them.

Self-limiting viral lesions for which treatment is not medically necessary 
and for which OTC treatments are available.  It covers all the others.

Why?  From what I've read recently the test causes more needless alarm
that it actual good.

No more than the female papsmear does and that has been a routine 
preventative measure for several decades.  The thinking is a little needless 
alarm is not likely to kill anyone, but undetected prostate cancer will.
