"Australia has better Healthcare than us."

Can't speak for Australia but off the top of my head, we gave the world penicillin which saved millions of lives in WWII. Oh and these Australian teens recreated Daraprim in their school laboratory.

"The Sydney Grammar boys, all 17, synthesised the active ingredient, pyrimethamine, in their school science laboratory.

"It wasn't terribly hard but that's really the point, I think, because we're high school students," one boy, Charles Jameson, told the BBC.

The students produced 3.7 grams of pyrimethamine for $20. In the US, the same quantity would cost up to $110,000.

In most countries, including Australia and Britain, the drug retails for less than $1.50 per pill."

He's confusing research and development with health care for citizens at large.

Thursday we did five total joint replacements. Patients were satisfied with their care and things were good. But when I got home I was totally spent. So myself and some others are interested in how the 'free' part works.

Because I can tell you we won't do it for free.

So, why don't we study their system and see how their Universal Coverage single payer system works and what parts of it we could incorporate into our system so we could change to be more like them. Heck if its better what do we have to lose?

I thought that the end all was Obamacare; the law Democrats passed along party lines and who didn't know what was in the bill and promoted by never ending lies?

Are you now admitting Obamacare was a fraud passed on numerous lies?

Nothing can be dumber than the belief that becoming dependent wards of the state is a good idea.

Of course, Australia has free single payor healthcare. But Trump just didn't say that. If I remember correctly, he said every country has better healthcare than us.

e.g...and brain dead ignorant liberals believe that. The only thing more idiotic is the notion that it is "free"; further proof of what unthinking morons liberal Democrats really are.

They have targets, if that's what you mean? In fact there is a lot of criticism and debate about the target driven culture.

There is also a lot of misunderstanding in the US about what free actually means. The NHS is free at the point of use, but it is funded by National Insurance as indeed is the State Pension and Unemployment Benefit. This means that there will be no talking to insurance companies, copays, long discussions about existing conditions or what type of coverage you are entitled to, because you're entitled to everything including abortion, cancer treatment, maternity, in the lot. The NHS also gets criticism for doing too much like gender realignment, fertility treatment and bariatric/cosmetic surgery.

......and these government systems turn their citizens into dependent wards of the state while bankrupting the nations who support them.

Most, with brains, should find it repugnant, that to avoid wait times in the months after paying exorbitant taxes for this "free" health care, the need to buy additional insurance outside the system to get the standard of care Americans take for granted.
