Right, you can't cjoose your doctor..that's rassuring...you can have that
here, too, at a considerable price difference in your insurance
rates...you
get waht you pay for...and BTW...you do pay for your medical treatment,
just
not upfront...your tac structure includes it in its system...

Yep, I pay 2% on my tax as does every Oz to support the system.
and get a 20% cut if I chose to privately insure. Saves the Govt
building new public hospitals I guess.

That is what is causing the big debate here in Canada.... a 2 Tier Medical
System that would allow the wealthy or privileged to buy insurance. The
majority are against a 2 tier system... although the government would like
to impose one. One thing though... we can indeed choose our Doctor here in
Canada.
