it would be a sad state of affairs if it got that way

although some of our hospitals waiting times in emergency dept are just as bad

I saw Sicko last week and boy was it an eye opener. But I'm afraid I have to agree with Yeti, I see the public health system headed down the same path.

If John Howard is relected (god forbid) he will bring in the American health system. He has said so on few occassions. Plus he has also said he wants
nurses on Work Choices, this could see nurses pay cut by $300 a week.
I am a nurse our system isn't perfect but its much better than other countries.
