Enjoy that FREE healthcare on my dime while its last.

Can you show me in your budget where it says it pays health care to Australians? Wink

Marla is just in denial about the fact that Americans are unable to pay for healthcare due to the fact that they have to maintain a massive military presence in the world and occasionally have to go provoke a war or two to justify its existence.

I will translate for Marla -

she means that we don't pay our fair share for defence therefore
we have plenty of money for hospitals and medical care.

The defence tab is picked up by the USA.

That is why Australians would rather set up diplomacy and trade with other countries peacefully.

Not what I'm saying at all. Now pay attention

The reason why I have no healthcare is because of bloated defense spending and the fact that none of your Aussies seem to give a toss about defending your own continent thinking America will do it for you.

Many Aussies are fat, lazy and have no ambition to defend in the name of freedom. By proxy, I am paying for your protection am I not?

That's why I have no healthcare.

So pony up or learn to speak Chinese.
