Trump is right about Australian health care

From a doctor's perspective.



Guest commentary: I’m a Kansas City doctor in Australia. Trump is right about Australian health care

President Donald Trump, I heartily agree with you when you told Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, “You have better health care than we do.”

You see, I have been both a patient and a doctor in the U.S. and Australia. After working and studying as a family physician in the U.S. for almost 20 years, I landed my dream job working in Australia in 2015. I love working within this excellent health care system where doctors and patients are supported by a program called Medicare. It is similar to American Medicare but covers every Australian of every age for most health care costs.

but he does not care because his real goal is to take away medical availability for anyone who is not the 1%. I see it as simple as that.
