The Australian system is based on equality and accessibility. They charge higher income earners with more tax. The purpose of the tax is to get them to sign up to private health insurance. It works wonders

so in the meantime, those "higher earners" are out working or doing productive things in order to raise more capital that can be taxed to pay for healthcare for people who sit on boxingscene all day...

No one in Australia complains not even the rich
Simply, Australia is not capitalist as you Americans. Australians love their system.Last edited by The Nomad; 11-08-2009, 09:36 AM.

Originally posted by The Nomad View PostNo, they are not forced. It called an incentive. They charge an extra 1% on tax if income earners over 100,000 don’t take up private health insurance. This does work wonders, since most of them if not all have private health insurance. It helps free up the public hospitals for lower income earners. While richer folks get their private hospitals.

so what you are saying, is the "rich" are taxed enough to pay for the "poor's" healthcare, and then, if they rely on this healthcare which THEY are funding, they are taxed additionally?? as in you can pay for it, but if you want to use it you have to pay more for it, so there's more left for those who don't pay for it???
oh but you're right... definitely and "incentive"
