@TonyTrunzo hey smart guy, it is implied as ‘free at the point of service’. You aren’t a genius for ‘OMG IT’S NOT FREEEEEEEEEEEE!!!111!!’ Here’s the reality: the Australian MRI provider is racking in money while American ones are going bankrupt, despite the American one’s charging far more. How? Because the American ones have to have an army of lawyers and admin to chase up debts and therefore your cashflow being terrible vs the Australian one being paid on time, every time by the government, and therefore great cashflow and no expensive lawyers or admin needed. Also if you were Big Pharma, would you want the massive government contract or the small fry private hospitals one? Not to mention the government has far more buying power, thus can buy medical supplies at a far higher discount per unit. And they have no profit incentive. Universal healthcare literally wins in a free market bud.
