Affordable Health Care - Just Stop.

360. Here's some facts for you...

I'm replying coz I noticed number23 can't reply anymore. She has never mentioned that she's an Australian. She's mentioned that she's currently living in Australia. Living here doesn't automatically make someone an Australian just like the Australians at DU who live in America aren't Americans. From what I understand she's an American living in Australia. If she's a permanent resident or has a relationship with an Australian citizen, she's entitled to a Medicare card. But why do you think an American who's currently living in another country has no right to talk about the US healthcare system? They've got every bit as much a right as you do.

btw, I'm Australian, and while I haven't had much to say about this ACA thing apart from asking a few questions, I'll say whatever I want to say about it and I don't care if you agree with me or not. And yr free to talk about our healthcare system and rather than telling you to not talk about it, I'll correct you on what you get wrong. And here's the first bit that you got wrong in yr OP. While our healthcare system is heads and shoulders above that of the US, it's a two tier system where quite a few things like laser surgery and MRI's aren't covered by Medicare unless yr an inpatient. So, believe me. We don't live in a nirvana where no-one ever has to worry for a second about getting health care treatment...
