    Health Insurance needs to not exist and Universal Healthcare juts cover all the stuff people need to stay healthy and live productive lives. From sexual healthcare to mental healthcare and of course medicine and anything else you’d need to see a doctor or medical professional for.

      Health Insurance needs to not exist

      Australia has a hybrid system with both public and private health care, and I think there’s merit to that idea.

      For example, some procedures have a long waiting list at public hospitals (given there’s limits to how much they can get done per day), but much shorter waits at private ones that are covered by private health plans. I never had private health coverage when I lived in Australia though.
