My 84yo mum went for a routine imaging test today and the cost was entirely covered by the Australian Medicare system.
The results were instantly sent to her General Practitioner who sent her a text saying that all is well on that front even without a visit (that would have been covered by Medicare anyway).
Yes, we pay taxes to have it, and it’s not even close to perfect, but socialised medical care if pretty f****** good IMHO.
@DyDave of course, but in your model where is the staggering profiteering, greed, and cruelty?

Oh! There’s still plenty of that to go around!
It’s just that there’s a popularly elected buffer from the worst of it. 👍
