Davit and Red,
If it were up to our Liberal party, all hospitals would be privatised here. They're cutting thousands of jobs, yet expect us to be able to afford higher living expenses and healthcare. Queenslanders voted in the Liberals for our State Premier and as much I hope it doesn't happen, I have a feeling we'll be getting a Liberal Prime Minister for our country as well in the September election. I know it's risky talking politics but that's just how it is, Labour is for the poor, Liberal for the wealthy. Unfortunately, my family and I are on the poorer end of the scale.
You're lucky to have your health insurance Red, at least that's one positive. It's hard knowing things aren't as regulated as they should be. The specialists are probably under a lot of pressure too, and are forced to see patients as a chart number, not people.
There is always room for improvement no matter where we are. Although there's no such thing as a perfect world, we shouldn't have to settle for less than average.
Kaitie.
