Australian Healthcare

One of the great advantages I find about studying in Australia has got to be the Australian Medicare system. I agree that this is one of the most well-executed health systems in the world. It is affordable with extensive covers and I have so far enjoyed its benefits.

On another note, some country's health care system are not as forgiving though, the obvious example is the US. Inability to afford the sky-high health insurance fees and bankruptcy of hard-working families due to medical fees are common stories reported from the US. The recently passed reform on healthcare by Obama is proof of how unsuccessful the original system was, and I hope there will be change as promised by the new president.
