Aussie, Aussie, Aussie: by Ian Morrison (author, consultant and futurist based in Menlo Park, Calif.)
"Somebody must be doing it right, we start to think. Well, actually, every system around the world is an ugly compromise among cost, quality, access and security of benefits, and almost all systems are in crisis according to the local news media. We in the United States have a bad bargain, maybe the worst: high costs, uneven quality, poor access and no security of benefits except for those over age 65."
Nice overview of a system we rarely hear about in discussions of universal healthcare, Australia.
Now, let me conclude this post with a prayer: Australia, Australia, Australia, We Love You. Amen. Crack the tubes!
