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.

You missed the point completely toots.
People, according to the media, want universal healthcare where everyone gets the same premiere coverage for free from the government. Not two tier healthcares where the working poor, homeless, kids get some degree of healthcare, and those more well off can afford better, including preventive and opt to pay for a better service.
See Canada.
