National Health Care
How novel and sane to have national health care. I am new to Australia and unemployed, and all I needed to do was show my permanent visa to the “Medicare” office yesterday, and now I have health insurance!! It is unbelievable to me that is is that easy. In the USA, for me to carry my current health insurance (not COBRA) would cost around $900/month. It is so civilized to have health care available to every woman, child and man, regardless of income. In this society people do not lose their houses because an uninsured family member becomes seriously ill. Can you imagine what it would be like to NOT have to worry about health insurance? It is the way most of the “civilized” world lives. I hope President Obama has the support he needs to make things “right” in the USA.

What a stranglehold special interests and corporations have on the decisions made in this country. It's actually sickening. People here think we are so progressive, but I think we are more oppressive. Look at the election campaign. Anyone mentioning national health care was derided as a socialist or a communist. What a bunch of idiots.
