Nope, I have never had it and never

I didn’t even bother with it when I physically built my own house.
The public hospital system worked fine every time.
Man, I dunno where you've been living. I've had multiple crippling injuries
and don't tell me about the public hospital system.
There is something callled a waiting list for specialists, surgeries, etc
and sometimes you have to wait up to couple
of years. I've had my elbow operated and waited nearly two years. I'm still
waitng for the other elbow.
Only way around that to see a specialist privately, which isn't funded by
medicare totally, and neither are the surgeries, etc, if you want
them have done straightaway.
Dunno what you mean by that. Specialists, physio, Osteo, etc all aren't
funded by medicare.
Yes, there are limited funding for certain cases, but nowhere near enough
for a rehabilitation.
You either need to have some hard cash savings or insurance.
I've never need to use either for health care.
That 'cos you've never experienced either of the circumstances.
Bullshit. The public hospital system works fine for that sort of thing.
That's bullshit. You should aquire an injury and see how it goes with the
public system.
I've been there already. I have firsthand experience, so do many people
Nope. In fact a number of mates of mine have had those
and only a couple of them have health insurance.
Obviously they have enough savings. There's help from public system in case
termincal illnesses.
But, when you need knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder, etc issues,
you have to wait
in the public system or need money or insurance to get the things done.
I meant universal type of health care system, so we don't need to have
private insurance to
have access to specialist services straighaway.
It would actually. No one has anything like that world wide.
I think it's time we do.
With growing populations and environmental hazards, etc, our health problems
are getting
more and more complicated by the day.
Depends on what you want done. There are real downsides
in some situations like cataracts for example.
So, you do believe in on the need for private health insurance under current
system?!!
You are free to have that with health insurance.
That's not 'universal' health care. You get what you pay for.
Then again, you argue we don't need it, or may be rather, you don't need
it?!!
You don’t get screwed by them.
Sure you do. All the insurance companies are there for that.
Just make sure you read the fine print and microscopic print and understand
it pretty well.
Many get screwed and raped in the arse by not doing that homework.
And that doesn’t even come close to raising what it costs.
Yeah, I think that's true. Wonder where the money's gona come from??!!!
Yep, likely.
I think her work on school system is good, the problem is she's shuffling
money to do that, which is not good.
I know it isnt. No one does that world wide.
Then it's time we do. With growing population and growing health
complications, we do need a system like that.
Capitalism, as we know and practice it, may not be conducive to such system
though.
Not even a miracle would do that now.
Once you get to 30% of the primary vote,
no one has EVER come back from that.
Yeah, similar drama happened to John Coward six years ago.
He lost badly, regardless of all the tax handouts.
Because you don't earn at all?!!
