We have socialized medicine
We have socialized education
We have the only economy in the world that sailed through the GFC without stalling
We have great relations with everyone
We have the most kickass flora and fauna
We have two seasons of weather: perfect and just a little less perfect
We have the most beautiful beaches in the world
Oh yeah, and we speak English so you don't even have to learn anything more than driving on the other side of the road.
Seriously, for whomever asked about other countries' successful healthcare programs, find the link I posted back around page 5/6. It is a direct MSN Money comparison of about 15 different countries - their percent of GDP spent on health, life expectancy, obesity rates, smoking rates, etc. It is clear to see which systems are working, in terms of cost and life expectancy (hint: it's socialized medicine).
Thanks justginger, cuz I've been scratching my head trying to figure out how to marry everybody and I can't work out the numbers.
On a serious note, it's been my dream forever to visit Australia. Something about your country really stirs my soul. I hope to make it there one day soon.
