countries that have it also offer supplemental insurance? Shouldn't all the needs of health care be provided by the coverage the government is providing?
For example, Australia adopted a two-tier system. The government pays two-thirds, and the private sector pays one-third. The public universal system is called Medicare. Everyone receives coverage. That includes visiting students, people seeking asylum, and those with temporary visas. People must pay deductibles before government payments kick in. Half of the residents have paid for private health insurance to receive a higher quality of care. Those who buy private insurance before they reach 30 receive a lifetime discount. Government regulations protect seniors, the poor, children, and rural residents.
Why do they have to pay twice for better service.
