Hmmm... I don't know why that didn't copy properly, try copy/pasting to google, you'll get there eventually.
But here's another:
But as you can see, we pay the most for the least care. While they say hospitals can't deny you emergency care.... you will be billed at twice or more the insurance rate for the same procedure and whatever post checks or rehabilitation that might be required.

Ummm, sorry, but 'putting down' is what the likes of you are doing. It is us foreigners that are applauding what your President has achieved. Jeez.
All we see on this thread is one comment after another of Americans bagging their own President, the health reforms(while not perfect, but what is?) he is trying to implement and half of the population with it.
And you have the gall to point your twisted finger at foreigners who are taking the trouble to look think about these issues. And guess what, we take an avid interest in the rest of the world, especially the U.S. because we are still reeling from the global affects of how your banking system and big corporations, screwed the entire world over not too long ago.
A tad HypOcritical of you, don't you think[/quote
Like I said, foreigners are putting down the US, you are doing this by trying to tell us we don't know what is good for us, you can judge what we need better than we can. The majority of Americans don't want obamacare, you say we don't know what we're talking about, that's saying you're more intelligent than we are. Your system is full of holes if you check into it, long waiting times in some cases, some treatment isn't even available, etc. WE have people from all over the world coming here from countries with government run healthcare systems to get treatment, if government run healthcare is so good why are they coming here? Why do the government officials in the countries where there is government run healthcare exempt themselves from it? Sounds like there must be makor problems with it.

daggyone: Well last time I looked, Australia has like a huge population along it's Eastern and Southern coastlines with next to nobody elsewhere that have the services of a fly in dr when needed.
obviously drs aren't in the town where there is 100 people, but the next town with 5000 people will have a dr or 2 and then the 50,000 people town will have the hospital and specialists.
Take Adelaide as a case in point, it is the city servicing SA, a vast state of some decent distances, but only as big as one of Sydney's or Melbournes regional towns. So many people from outlying areas fly into Adelaide for opps and specialists fly out to the regions, and then some have to fly to Melb or Sydney for major opps in the Childrens hospital or a bigger hospital. And yes, some opps are even performed in the US where they have the economies of scale and latest medical techniques or technology not yet implemented in Australia.
We do well considering the size of Australia is similar to that of the US but the population is the total that would be in one of the US's smaller states.

We, here in the US, usually have doctors in small towns, general practitioners anyway. They can save lives of people that would otherwise die or aren't able to make it to the bigger towns.

ooby_dooby: Obama just ate Mitt Romneys lunch.
Carry on.
Carry on.
Looks like the Supreme Court did Romney a favor, Romneys donations have soared past obama, and the small lead obama had in the polls has disappeared.
