Cut my thumb half off 4 years ago, rocked up to hospital was seen after 10 mins and fixed. Cost $0.

Broke my nose 2 years ago, rocked up, got seen within 15 mins, cost $0.

Broke my wrist last year, rocked up, got seen straight away, cost $0.

Had a lump, had to get major surgery, got it the next day, had a week stay in hospital and it cost me $0.

I have health insurance, but have never been asked for it and in fact half the time they don't even ask my name.. the public system here is more than ok. I have a hard time believing that the richest country in the world can't even provide healthcare for it's people. You have 3rd world countries with a better healthcare system than you have. My insurance for a month stay over there is more than I pay per year for my health insurance here.
