Hello,

"I hope Hillary Clinton will be able to do the right thing next time."

I believe the insurance and/or health
corporations will not help her.
Here in socialist Quebec, they are
waiting on the sidelines to get pieces
of our medicare programs but, we will
not let them get away with any.



Later,

After an incident that sent me to the emergency of a local hospital in Florida, I pray to God if I get really sick, to be back in Australia. (it will be even cheaper to fly there ...!!!)

For years, I payed happily 2.5% of my income towards Medicare, for whoever needed it. When I had my baby or we needed medical attention, we got it back freely.

I have never met so many people with financial problems due to a hospital stay and lack of proper medical care as here.

Our previous Prime Minister and many of his Ministers did not have private health cover.

I hope Hillary Clinton will be able to do the right thing next time.

In Australia we have a two teared system. Free hospitals if you do not have health cover. If you have private cover you will get arebate on most services if they are life threting ,but if deemed comsetic its out of your pocket.
What is steffing our system is the high cost of insurance the doctors have to pay . Our legal system is bring in big bucks to claiments and we have lawers going to the banks with laugh markes in their pockets.
Doctors especially gynacologists are deserting the hospitals because the the insurancs have gone through the roof.

So here its not the doctors who are makeing a killing in the wealth stakes ,but the lawers and insurance companies.
