That's a generalisation. I live in Australia and we have public healthcare. I pay for private, though. But at the end of the day, no matter how down and out you are, if you fall over and break your leg you can have it seen to. Or do you think the poor should just suffer and spend years paying off hospital bills?

At the end of the day, most people in Australia are fairly well off. We pay higher taxes than you guys, but we have more social programs designed to help the needy. And yet people still manage to be wealthy and there are plenty of super rich people around. Funny how that works.
