It seems to me that an interpretation of government tax spending on Health Care in the USA thru medicare/medicaid significantly exceeds the AUS gov. spending on a per capita basis. It also appears that it costs you more for private health insurance and yet, the majority of you are seemingly worse off for it.
Why should that be the case?
Here in Australia we are expected to pay thru the nose for most things.
The real operating/business cost of health care here is probably higher than it is in the US.
The doctors and surgeons here all do very well for themselves.
"The 'U.S.S. Government' appears to be leaking seriously. The lifeblood is spilling uncontrollably and those that feed off the hard work and savings of others continue to gorge themselves excessively. The commanders dont want there power and position usurped so they fail to act in a responsible way. The lowly officers and crew do there duty and obey orders, to the best of their abilty. But, without the will for change, the leaks can't be plugged, and the ship continues to sink.........."
The abuse of public money/tax is not coming from the lower class. The middle class has always suffered the real financial burden of taxation.. In terms of contribution from hard work and savings, they probably provide the greatest collective contribution to successful society and nationbiulding.
All business is assisted in one way or another to succeed by tax incentive, concessions etc etc. Many of those same businesses provide goods and services to the government. With very few exceptions, the products and services they provide are excessively priced. (OK , in certain circumstances there are valid reasons for justifiably high and exorbitant prices).
So in paying excessive prices for these goods and services the taxpayer is subsidising all the businesses that supply and also the business/social chain below that. Every business loves a government contract. Right? Which is the best to shoot for over there, Health, Defense, Infrastructure......?
It seems a change in collective will might be required.
Bad commanders like unhealthy rivalry and bickering that they can control to their advantage , while avoiding the dirt, sweat and pain of just achieving a livable income. Hell, they'll even send you me and our sons and daughters to die, not so much just to protect you, but to protect their interests and the interests of those they benefit from.
Failing the majority having sway over the politicians in favor of real equitable reform,....................
I'd consider a 'Tea Party'
