Goodbye Bronwyn

[Ducatiboy stu]

I would like to know how they compare each countries health care system...

Each country is going to be different due to a number of factors like population, population health, geography etc

 

[manticle]

The list has been criticised (mostly I think because the US fares so poorly) and it is 15 yrs old but they base it on a few factors. Average life expectancy, financial contribution per capita, access, a few other things I think. There's various other rankings including one done in 2014 but that's europe only (dutch come out on top with that one).

According to the World Health Organisation.

If our health system was going to improve we will have to pay more than what we are paying now, as Dave 70 said in an earlier post we go to work, pay taxes, retire, and the government hope you fall off the perch.
People are going to be living longer but it only means a bigger strain on our health system, retirement be locked in at an older age and pensions will come down with super kicking in.

I know.....what about a $7.00 co-payment?

 

[Camo6]

hasn't worked out too well so far

Depends on perspective I guess. With all the oil pumped out of the Middle East they could've been a major contender if not for all the war.
So I guess if you were a super power sitting on the largest oil reserve in the world it could be conceived as working out very well!

Why didn't that go ahead?

Bronwyn's charter costs had risen. They had to be covered and sacrifices had to be made.

Bronwyn who?????

Something to do with those that could least afford it, who also tend to visit the doctor more than those that could afford it.

The same people who dont drive cars as stated by Joe Hockey

 

[Tropico]

"Goodbye Tony". Didn't Bronwyn say to Tony " if I go, you go"

He didnt write it down. Remember he once famously said that not believe anything he said unless it was written down and signed

I know....lets increase the Medicare levy for those who can most afford it, then those who can most afford it will ask for and get pay rises from companies that will then increase the cost of product which the people who can least afford it will end up paying..

 

[Tropico]

So if Tony sacks Joe Hockey in an attempt to shore up his supporters, will Joe put in a bid for PM?

Well wouldn't a socialist want to pay more say $10 co-payment to cover those who couldn't afford it which wouldn't have been many as concession card holders and under 16's were exempt.

You'r moving ahead to fast there Burt de Earnie.

You are thinking like the LNP

Medicare levy is across the board. It is the same % for everyone. Yes the more you earn the more you pay. Thats life.

I dont see anything wrong with that. If you can afford to pay it, pay it.

 

[goomboogo]

then those who can most afford it will ask for and get pay rises from companies

Is it as simple as that? It's no wonder wages are spiralling out of control.

 

[manticle]

Yeah you just ask 'please sir, can I have some more?'

And that's it.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

More..you want more....

I know let's reduce wages and increase the cost of basic living costs so the people who can least afford it have less excess cash to spend on "luxuries". So spending goes down and the companies who bring their goods in from China start to sell less. They have to then sack people and get more work out of the people who are left. The government chucks in and allows them to contribute less to the country in taxes. They also help to get more out of the employees. This is good for everyone (economy) the people who got sacked could only get casual jobs so they stash the cash under the bed and don't spend anything. To make it better and improve the economy/country the thing to do is get less for your product and just sell more and to reduce your costs might as well just let them come and get it themselves cost **** all you don't have to put up with unions wanting more for the plebs you just takes your cut. Our country (I) makes a killing

 

[booargy]

Makes sense doesn't it I wonder what came first. The pleb or the doer?
