Nationalized health care anyone?

Claire took a faceplant from her horse at a full gallop. No head injuries but a bad cut below her left eye and some bad scrapes.

Just arrived at hospital in Katoomba. Walked in the ER, registered in 3 minutes and back to see a nurse less than 10 minutes after arrival. Clean waiting room, no chaos, nice people.

Score 3 pts nationalized health care, 0 pts private health care.

$80 Australian per service rendered--doctor visit, Xray, etc. Score another for NHC. Its now NHC 4, PHC still big fat zero.

And she's back with 5 stitches. Doctor visit, stitches, laughing gas, total of $80 Australian. Final score NHC 5, PHC Nil.

I hope Claire is recovering. Scary. Maybe you guys can be the new face of health care reform when you get back.
