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 Canada's system isn't quite as fast (we're much bigger!) but it's just as free.

I spent the first 10 years of my life in (and largely thanks to - I was a sickly kid) the Canadian system.

It is also not perfect, but better than many alternatives πŸ‘

@DyDave Some of the conservative party premiers and the federal party want to privatize if like the USA has. Idiots..
