Just wondering if I should bother with travel insurance for my next visit or whether I should just avail myself of some of this 'free'' health care. 
By the way, will your government pay me to live while I study like I was paid to study my degree in Film and Television Production here in Australia?
By the way, you still haven't provided me with any evidence that the USA offers me more opportunity to be educated than Australia does.

I am not an expert on immigration and the process they use to determine your income and financial status. I never said that you are PROMISED a free education, but ALL K-12 grade children are given a free education regardless. And if you cannot afford higher education on your own, it's your right to persue one. America has services that make it available, be it free until you can pay it back, free scholarship that you never pay back, free grants... the possibilities are unlimited in this country. Heck you can even win the lottery.
I have seen college students get money to buy clothes with, that they didn't have to pay back. You have no idea, what can be given to you in America, no strings attached. I mean, if your goal is to live off of charity, that's not anything to be proud of... but the idea of financial aide, is to better yourself with it and contribute to society with your education and other amenities. I don't know ANY other country that provides this. Please enlighten me...
