Here in Aus medicare is 1.5% of earnings tax, health insurance is fully deductible to that, its the thing the American scaremongers won't tell you about the Australian system.. most working people still have insurance (tax writedown). The two just complement each other ensuring health care for those that can't afford insurance. Same hospitals, same doctors, same meds, same waiting time on life threaten illnesses. Insurance just offers cue jumps on non life threatening stuff and a nicer room.
