Private Healthcare does not necessarily take pressure off public Healthcare. It does feed more money into the Healthcare system as it does into the U.S., making Healthcare more expensive.

My latest fix up is a synovial cyst on spine wear and tear ,degradation arthritis apparently so I tick all the boxes.

See surgeon tommorow slice it out next week. Could put injection in it 70/80% chance will work or cut it out 100% success rate.

It's leading to the peripheral neuropathy. Not bad MRI 2 weeks ago surgeon rang Saturday yup part of being a medical loyalty program....visit tommorow tuesday get everything in order booking anethatist etc etc work out any out of pocket operation mid next week.

Private health to rescue take pressure of public system.

Just reread first line err pardon the pun,

hope you guys know what a wobbly is Australian term.

My sister is quite complimentary of the Australian health system. Certainly much quicker results than what you would receive in Canada. Good luck.

2 tier healthcare is happening in Canada, have friends who have gone to the USA, Mexico, Germany and Switzerland. Could the First Nations not build on reserve hospitals here, they seem to do what ever they want.

Agstar you should talk to my sister. Moved to Australia(with her Aussie husband) about 25 years ago. She has a PHD so certainly an intelligent woman. Had a hip replacement last year. Was very impressed with the Australian health system. They pay for extra insurance(through the government I believe) which gives them access to a quicker stream of care. She thinks it is a wonderful system compared to Canada.

Hospitals right next to the casino. Ooh, lucrative!

Not saying it does not work but it does come at a cost. Inequality in Healthcare will eventually come at a social cost.

Don't use it.
your choice.
You get what you pay for, health is # 1 for most people.
You can stand in line ..

Not necessarily do you get what you pay for. In the U.S. they have the most expensive Healthcare but not the best outcome.
