Pat provided a link and the diversion began.
No, Pat's OP was about Canadian health care. Then he started talking about Australia and how much better they handle things than Canada or the US.
Sorry for the late response, life is going on and the time zone differences. Let me give you an example Brew of what I was getting at, and this difference, and in my opinion refreshing way of doing things, seems to extend throughout the country.

Immigration:

You know what policies are in North America and Europe. I just had a lady from England talk my ear off about the Romain-Gypsy problems they are facing. Illegal immigration is a major problem because it literally sucks the marrow out of a nation's bones in so many ways. Here in Aussieland there are an estimated 50-80,000 TOTAL illegals. Many are from America but some from other regions. Here they really are serious about keeping unpermitted people from joining or continuing working illegally. There is no catch and release policy. Now say you want to come here and live or you claim to be a refugee. You file the papers and you have ONE year to PROVE proficiency in reading, writing and speaking English. Social welfare is for citizens but some emergency care is available on a temporary basis. As the illegal or unqualified cry big alligator tears, Aussie immigration officers load them in a bus for the airport and escort them to the plane with the one way ticket back where they came from. End of story. Oh, and Muslim extremists? Forget about it, you blend in or you leave.

Healthcare for the visitors is expensive but the facilities are first class. I did not or should I say I have not heard a single gripe about quality of care of long lines.

The country and it's laws just make sense. If you ask someone about one they look at you with inquiring eyes. And then you are asked what is wrong with it. lol. Oh by the way for the Canadians, Aussie's are all over Canada during vacation times. Not so much America.
Hmm! Not so according to this chart. US is number three destination and Canada isn't even listed.

"But it’s illegal immigrants that are a problem in Australia. An average of 3,000 “boat people” were arriving monthly this past spring, and roughly 30,000 await rulings on their requests for asylum."

Then all the Aussies I talk to are a bunch of liars. :smile:
I don't know. Have you talked to all of them?

True. And I'm rarely at a loss of words or musings. Beats running around trying to defend the indefensible.
