health care is not free..tax payers pay for it..smokers booze and all that.
yet they never have enough beds(coz the doctors are using them
but i think its a good thing,
few years back there was a huge legal case in south africa.
the free clinics would have become bankrupt due to the price of HIV drugs,
huge legal battle,,blah blah..and they won
now they can get the generic from india,,half the cost and works just as good.
my problems with the health system is there are far too many non doctors pulling the strings
and too many (should not be) doctors pocketing the money.
and its a war zone down here...you would rather go to a free clinic than a private.
many reasond i cannot mention on this forum.
