Cheers to the Australian public health care system.

My kid just had an overnight stay in hospital, two sets of x-rays, plastering and wound care materials, plus unfailingly calm, competent and kind care (kudos to the staff of Busso Hospital)…

…and I paid the massive bill of $15 for antibiotics.

Let’s talk about #Medicare and why we need to protect it.

Australia, we’re lucky to have a healthcare system that ensures everyone has access to medical care, regardless of their income. But let’s be real. We can’t take it for granted. We don’t want to become like the USA, where millions of people are left desperate, unable to afford life-saving treatments, or even a simple doctor’s visit.

Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. Medicare means no one has to choose between putting food on the table and seeing a doctor. It means parents don’t have to fear going bankrupt because their child gets sick. It means dignity and care for all.

Let’s fight to keep it that way. Let’s protect Medicare, improve it, and ensure it stays universal. Because no one should ever be left behind when it comes to their health.
