So my Kidney failed a decade ago and over that time I had multiple month long stints in hospital, required dialysis 3x a week for the last 10 years, and in may last year, got a call saying a donor was a match with me and to get to hospital within hours, I got a new kidney. And all that, cost me nothing out of pocket, Its all covered by the small tax that everyone pays and helps those who need it.
Aussie here , throat cancer 13 years ago 35 lots of radiation , 3 lots of chemo , 4 years ago massive heart attack . used the ambulance 4 times , about 4 weeks in hospital . total cost $ 00 .
13 years ago, well done mate!
I had 4 heart attacks in 2019 just before covid. All i had to pay was the Ambo drive to hospital, nothing else. 9 mins they got to my house. 2024 is completely different waiting time for most emergency calls these days.
Also no more bulk billing at most doctors now, im in NSW, everything is changing at a rapid rate now.
SCUH is a wonderful hospital, I go there for my checkups for bladder cancer annually now, it was every three months initially. Three seperate treatment regimes for the BC and during Covid I had a triple heart bypass cost to me $0.00.
@@Ty-dz9edambulance cover is about $50 a year these days… how much did your trip set you back out of curiosity?
We in Australia didn’t get our healthcare system in a miracle from Heaven. We voted out the long-term sitting political party and voted in a party that promised reforms and then we made sure that those reforms actually happened. Some were quick, some were slow but mostly they did happen. There is a lesson for you there, Neal. Make sure that everyone that you know gets out there and votes for the party that will get those things done that you want to be done, don’t let the selfish idiots party dominate the political process: vote for the ones who support the mildly socialistic policies that will provide what THE WHOLE OF YOUR SOCIETY NEEDS. You know what they say: if you didn’t vote, don’t complain.
That's sadly not how it works as all elections are 100 percent rigged, even in Australia. From this year onwards that is changing . In fact our entire planet and healthcare system will be changing for the better so exciting times ahead
And thank dog we did. Scummo was going to kill Medicare
That is so true. If you don't vote, you can't complain!
It’s should be your democratic duty to vote. Strange it’s not compulsory in the land of the free. There has to be some kind of outrage to gun violence in the country. Anyone who doesn’t support change wouldn’t get my vote.
I think the reason Ben wasn’t allowed to go in with her at the first hospital was because this was during Covid.
To me, the two most socially significant things in Australian history were the introduction of Medicare (universal health) by the Whitlam Government and the Superannuation Guarantee Act ,by Treasurer Paul Keating (later Prime Minister) in the Hawke Government. Just my top two.
I love our healthcare. I'm 26, turning 27 this year. I've had 4 major surgeries on my intestines, 7 minor surgeries for other things and am on long term medications. The only time I have ever paid money is a $55 consult fee too see the surgeon the first time, and a yearly payment of $12.50 that covers my years supply of medication. It's amazing ❤
Where are you if you don’t mind me asking?
Also I love that you have had such great experiences even though you obviously have had some very serious issues. ❤️🩹
@jessovenden Newcastle, Australia. And yeah my life expectancy isn't looking good but atleast I don't have too prepare for my death while also paying off a 6 figure medical debt..
@@bradleyholdom9677 My heart goes out to you bradley ❤️🩹
@@bradleyholdom9677 I wish every Aussie understood how important Labor Party is ,for giving us Medicare. LNP plan to privatise the medical system like America. Let's hope they never get back in. Medicare is too important. LNP made over 900 cuts to Medicare during the pandemic,so MRIs and scans cost now 😢
I had an appointment on Friday to the hypertension ward at the Princess Alexandria Hospital, my car broke down so I called to cancel my appointment but the registrar said no, we don't rebook these appointments (it was in the public system), so ended up doing a telehealth appointment for a little over an hour, and some great feedback, new medication because the ones I was on would effect a test result they want me to do in a few weeks. Zero cost and yes I pay tax, and a medicare levy of about $900-1K each tax return but it seems somewhat cheaper than actually having private health insurance. It's an argument I have with my accountant every year. I'm ex defence so had free health care anyway and I'd just rather pay the money each FY than get private health insurance because I'm generally fighting fit and if I'm not just bury me, those blood sucking insurance scams aren't going to get me.
Funny thing. I just got out of hospital 2 hours ago. RAH public hospital in Adelaide. I don't have private health insurance. I spent 5 days and 4 nights there in a private room with an ensuite. I had xrays, blood tests and constant blood pressure and heart rate checks. They gave me food, antibiotics and pain killing drugs. They checked my vitals every 4 hours. I had my surgery and given more drugs. The nurses and doctors were amazing. Incredibly caring and always asking if I was in pain or if there was anything they could do for me. Like Maz I can't talk more highly of them. And my total bill for 5 days in a private room and all that other stuff was $0. They have even said that if I need a home visit from a nurse that that would come under Medicare. Gotta love the Aussie health care system.
Gotta love Labor party for introducing and maintaining Medicare . Morrison wanted to privatise the health system.
@@ChantalsBackPain that would have been a disaster. Glad he was voted out.
I was recently admitted to hospital with pneumonia and spent about five days in hospital. I cannot fault the care I was given from the dr’s to the nurses they were all amazing. Had my own room and ensuite, tv, nurses checking on me every hour or two. Had a menu I could call up and order what I wanted and they would bring to my room. So grateful to Queensland Health dept. The best!
Something says you guys don't know the childrens' story of Alice in Wonderland. You may find,amazingly,there isn't a musical of it. There is definitely a film. The story is much loved world wide & has been for generations.
I’ve had several bowel operations (at Least 8) over the years and believe me, if your guts are crook & you’ve just been operated on, you don’t want any tucker.
Once they gave me Mongolian beef after I had 3 feet of bowel removed, I argued with the nurse stating I’m on liquid feeds after a major operation but she insisted it was for me, I had a few bites and couldn’t eat any more so my old mum was there visiting me and she tipped all the food into her hand bag 😂.
Total cost $0:00
Australia is just awesome health care.
America will never change i don't think.
🙂
It will, the whole world is having a complete reset soon. Heard Trump say we are never going back to how it has been? He's right. Some alien tech is being used already like Rife machines, but wait until we get medbeds, which will be coming soon. Lots of doctors will be arrested soon as they are the minions in the cabal. You will find all that out later.
Yes you have huge changes about to occur , all for the better. I won't say much more as my comments get deleted , but 2024 is the year of huge changes in every aspect of our lives, esp with abundance.

I’ve just been through breast cancer - I chose to use private cover for my surgery. Other than $500 excess to the hospital, the rest of my treatment of surgery, follow up, chemotherapy was cost free. I then went to public system for radiotherapy. Free. I cannot fault the care in either system, and paid $500 for 9 months of treatment.
I’m a nurse and have worked in US, Canada and UK. In my opinion we have the best healthcare system. The US was the worst out of the 4 (US,Canada,UK and Australia). The UK was good but it was short staffed and we were expected to work 12 hr shifts and do 6 shifts per week. The US were short staffed and we had to turn away so many people that needed help but had no money or insurance. Canada was great and very much like Australia. The money earned as a nurse in Australia is excellent. the twisted intestines are very painful and can be life threatening. I myself have lupus and epilepsy and in 2023 I had 7 hosp admissions with my last one only 6wks ago and lasting five wks. It all cost me $0. Also my daughter who is 22yrs old also took charge of the household and had it in tip top shape. I had the best care. People will say I got best care as I’m a nurse but the staff only found out I was a nurse half way thru my stay..shout out to all my fellow nurses especially those in NSW ❤
The Ambulance service differs around the country. But i think Queensland does it best, when i lived in Queensland in 07-09 if you lived in a house that paid an electricity bill you were covered as the levy was taken from that.
In Victoria, where I've mostly lived you pay an annual Ambulance service membership, $50 a year for individuals not much more for a whole family. It equals about the same as the QLD levy but its done for you in QLD.
If you choose not to pay a membership then you could be billed hundreds of dollars or thousands if you need to be flown by plane or helicopter.
The QLD government actually pay for it. And it covers all QLD residents, no matter if they are travelling interstate or not when the ambulance is needed. Love the QLD government for that
@@rachelroberson6871 ah cool. An upgrade since I was there.
8:35 5 year old in the front seat? The minimum age for a front seat passenger in Australia is 7.
If you have had abdominal surgery you have to give your gut a rest for a few days. If you don't you can be in more trouble, your gut just stops working.
Major surgery is scary but you MUST try to relax cos you're in the best place. Some time ago I had triple bypass heart surgery. I rolled with it & had no problem whatever. Oh,& it cost me nothing.........
I remember when health care wasn’t free. I had a baby born too early who was sick for years. I had to find the money to cover health insurance and Ambulance. I was one day late with my Ambulance payment when my son had to be rushed to Sydney by Ambulance and I couldn’t believe how many years it took me to pay that bill off.
We have it really good now and I also live in Queensland now. My power company pay my Ambulance bills if we ever need one and we don’t buy their power. They buy our excess power. So they pay my Ambulance and send us money for power we make. Weird but I like it. 😂
I lived in Queensland for awhile and was quite shocked to see a $2 fee was added to the electricity bill to cover ambulances, seemed really weird. It was a few years ago so might be more now, anyhoo I was in Adelaide on holiday and needed an ambulance. When I returned to Qld there was a statement re the ambulance call out. The ambulance cost $800+ and was fully covered by that tiny little fee on the power bill. The hospital cover was free too. Gotta love Australia.
Oh ok, that hospital is right near my house!😮 Sunshine Coast University Hospital. 😃
Never watched Alice in Wonderland but it sounds like it became popular as a book, so to me, that suggests reading the book would be a better idea than a modern movie based on an old book.
Australia is very different from the USA. Private hospitals are for minor elective surgery. Anything major would be done in a public hospital that is normally larger and higher. If you have private health insurance, you would still go to a public hospital for major healthcare.
After eating that meat, Neal, you would be back in surgery quicksmart to unwind your intestine again.
In a normal childbirth there’s NO reason for not eating if you feel like it. Get some pizza delivered or something and just eat!
There's no good reason for the American Doctors Association to still hold onto a regulation from the 1950's which relied on a tiny sample size with even sketchy outcomes. Mama Doctor Jones talked about that in one of her videos. Today there is very little to indicate that eating during labor could be remotely problematic. On the other hand if a woman in labor expresses a desire to eat she should be allowed food as labor is one of the most energy burning processes the human body can go through. Keeping up the energy levels in a woman's body during labor has a much greater benefit on average than the tiny chance of minor complications being even remotely possible.
@@RustyDust101 Exactly! I really did get a pizza after I had eaten all the hospital food we could find.
I’m in Australia and childbirth is definitely handled quite differently here.
@@jessovenden Amen! Unless there’s a weird complication, I’ve only known the midwives and doctors to encourage eating and moving around as much as you’d like.
You should react to our version of 60 minutes (Australia) 'killer storm' where 10 people died because of a dangerous combination of a thunderstorm.
Plus, I had appendicitis in 2022. It started when I started a new job, literally the night of day 1. Went in day 2 and didn't go back because by the end of the week (Friday) I was in hospital. And by Saturday it ruptured and I had to go through emergency surgery. Spent 6 days in hospital and when I was there, I had nightmares for the first time since I was 16. When I went home, I had the same interesting but unearving dream. Wasn't scary but wasn't happy. It was like I was viewing a wedding type of event with bright white facade of sort. I knew there was people there but not up close. Took 6 weeks at home to recover.
It is not always plain sailing. Although Australia and the UK have some sort of agreement between Medicare and the NHS for reciprocal medical care - a few years ago during a visit to the UK with my partner who needed some urgent pain relief for a back condition. She was refused service at three medical clinics before two days later we were able to get to a major hospital for care. The medical centers in question totally refused to let my partner see a doctor.
Luckily we have a reciprocal agreement in Australia for Poms (UK) People or it would cost as much as the USA does
After 38 years of Nursing. My eyes roll back looking at my brain how people assume they have a choice with a Bowel obstruction, and a nasogastric tube. You WILL get a nasal tube down your nose if you want to live.
As for not having food.
When an anethetist gives you an anesthetic. We dont starve you just to piss you off. It's done to ensure you dont throw up while you anethetised/ asleep and you don't aspirate your big Mac from lunch.
A naslogastric tube is not like its a choice, bowel obstrucrions are serious life threatening matter..
Dont get me started on the 1 second nasal swab going up the nose.
A whole heap of information is obtained from that one swab..
I had to do one everyday for 12 months..
People died cause they couldnt be ass'ed. Or made the virus a politial talking point..
Im done with nursing, cant do it any more, burnt out from the aggression, the mysoginistic dudes, the ignorant and the politcally warped minded individuals..
But thats a whole different story ...
im so glad u changed the intro.much better,cheers
If you’d sneaked in food after going through that, you’d only do it once lol. Then you’d spend the entire rest of the visit apologising to your nurses.
SHOUT OUT TO LILY 😃
Pain relief drug Tramadol can have that effect on some people..the nurse will normally mark your Records that you've had a bad response to it. I had the same and couldn't close my eyes because of the really nasty hallucinations you get, when you do .. didn't sleep for 2 days... Good to see you getting well, all the best for the future...😀
Good old Tramadol, had me chasing spaceships after my surgery.
ALWAYS watch the ORIGINAL first.
(From Australia)
Alice in Wonderland you're referring to? The one from 1999 I'd recommend, the one with Whoopi Goldberg, Gene Wilder, Ben Kingsley, Martin Short and Christopher Lloyd, to name a few. That's the one I grew up with.
You aren't meant to eat before or after surgery due to the risk of stomach issues especially with bowl surgery incase of a leak causing peritonitis (leaking poop into your abdomen), same goes with C sections plus vomiting. ... I don't goto hospitals in general. Had a finger hanging on by a piece of skin so I just cut it off grabbed a hot rock and seared it shut, used ash, pine resin and soap bush heated n made into a goop then poured it over, then got the duct tape out. It's how men deal with things in the outback. I still have my finger, it's in a jar of moonshine.
I know in Adelaide, South Australia if you haven't got ambulance health cover insurance, then you pay upwards of $100 for a ambulance and they don't always come as quickly as you want, depending on the level of emergency and where they have to bring the ambulance from. For instance, I am classed as on the border of metropolitan/rural so the local hospital in the country town I am closest to didn't have an available ambulance and one had to come from another place.
My mum had ambulance in South Australia and it cost $1500, luckily she lives in Qld so I took bill to Qld ambulance and they paid it
3 years ago I had to use the ambulance for the first time in my life and im in my 60s, I was shocked at getting a bill for $1,200 and im in South Australia Adelaide
@@BarbaraMacDonald-bq1lb That is interesting. I am 63 and have called them 2-3 times at home and one time I didn't even get the bill. I don't have insurance although I had the paperwork and was going to join. Anyway in my particular case it came to no more than $120 and I paid it off via my Centrelink Pension over a period of time. I would be shocked with a bill for that. As I said, they just attended and the job itself was very simple and not time consuming, and that probably is why I didn't get a huge bill. If I was taken in their car (as offered by them to the hospital), yes I would have expected a higher bill, but over $1000? I don't think so, not for my issue. Sorry about your attroscious bill. All these things will be in the past soon when we get the medbeds in and hospitals go away and are replace with wellness centres and alien technology currently having been kept from us by the globalist elite cabal for so long. It's on its way. I think all the production side of the medbeds has happened on Mars. We have a human colony there. Actually we have human colonies all over the place including the moon which isn't a planet but a deathstar. I can't wait for disclosures to come out and the world wakes up in unison.
I have an ambulance cover that costs $60 a year and can use it as many times needed
I'm in WA. I called an ambulance about 5 years ago. My private health covered it and it was $900. I think it's fantastic that QLD has free ambulances. I wish the rest of the country would do it.
I had liver cancer my and my stomach closed I had to have the tube in my nose went into my stomach for 6 days let out the fluid it's big and thick and boy did it hurt after a while then they put me back to sleep and took it out and put a NG tube/gastric feeding tube and I had peg feed for 4 or 5 months all the food went through the tube straight to the stomach I missed eating BBQ and Steak
wonderland the original is the movie she is referring to
In some states you pay a small annual fee (about $50-$60), or your employer will, and that covers you for any ambulance costs. If you are on welfare or a pension you don't pay anything.
I have never heard of employer paying, good for you if they do, in Western Australia I paid $100 year, in Qld we are fully covered
Um no, only those over a certain age get it free!
Every state has a different ambulance system. I live in Victoria so I'm referring to what happens here.@@geofftottenperthcoys9944
In Queensland its free@@geofftottenperthcoys9944
Different states have different rules. In QLD you get ambulance and public hospital for free. Emergency visit to a public hospital is free if you are a resident of QLD.
I have no idea why the US has such a stupid medical system? Why would you allow a system that lets an insurance company to tell you what life saving medical procedures you can or can’t have? This time last year I was admitted to hospital via emergency with pneumonia. (I’m in Australia…). I was treated in emergency for hours because my lungs were near collapse, then at around 11pm I was admitted and taken to a ward. I was given a CT scan the next day and was found to have a thing called empyema which is basically pus and goo was gumming up all my left lung. I needed an operation but had to be transferred to another hospital to do it. I was transferred by ambulance and operated on. After the surgery I was so well cared for then transferred back to my original hospital where unfortunately I caught Covid from visitors accessing the hospital. I was in hospital a total of 35 days, had 2 specialists, 2 ambulance rides and 35 days of hospital medical team care, including blood tests every day, all the meds I needed, IV’s, covid anti virals, etc.. It cost me nothing. Not a cent. Why wouldn’t you want that system?
Let's hope you don't have surgery cos you will eat what you're given ! If you act up awkward the nurses have special revenge methods ......just for you ! !
Alice in Wonderland, Is really trippy 😳 😂 ESPECIALLY If your on drugs. 🤣 that's what I've heard anyway. 😉 You guys should react to it & see what u think about it. 👍 Sending love ❤️ From the UK.
Ketamine or tramadol I guarantee those two always spin ppl TF out
The Covid swab is a little bit irritating, that's all!!!😅
I stopped breathing during a stomach op. The surgeon was still operating so they bought me out with Ketamine. Omg fairyland. It's like strong heroine or is a derivative I was told and an hallucinating drug. It stops pain without you feeling them operating but you're out to it if given enough. Just not as much as normal anaesthetic. It's when you wake up your off your face, literally 😂 I was seeing a building with a cross on top. Floating around the outside were nurses in ballet tutu's and fairy dresses with old fashioned nurse aprons and those big white starch hats like the 1940's nurses wore. Trouble is you rant on telling everyone to look at the fairy nurses while in fact you're wide awake in recovery hahaha nurses just have a giggle I'm sure. Going home after my late day surgery was hilarious 😂 came good in a couple of hrs.
Those lines down your nose and throat contain camera type sensors. They monitor the actions of your oesophagus to your stomach. They are very uncomfortable and used when Dr's need to know what your gut is doing. Such as if you vomit food or acid a lot or have an offending hiatus hernia protruding into your oesophagus. They found my stomach valve that holds food in your stomach was staying open. Thus food would bounce like a trampoline and everything I ate or drank would regurgitate. After a new valve was made I was fantastic. It came from yrs of morning sickness from falling pregnant one after the another ( had 3 babies in 4yrs )😳
Maz was having basically a bowel type surgery thus because all that food passage area is connected to your stomach they probably had to monitor if anything was reversing like bowel motions. Sounds yuk but it can and does happen. So those plastic lines are life saving and a lot more to them than what you think 🤔🙆♀️
I would of thought that food was the last thing on a woman's mind during labour. I guess I was wrong, when she is screaming, it is not because of pain but the lack of food they a missing during labour and that is why women say it is the hardest thing to go through.🤣
I didn’t tune in to hear about your sister I tuned to hear this woman’s story, get on with it!
I sneaked in a bottle of bourbon for a mate who was in hospital, he said it made the stay a lot better lol.
Gotta be very careful with that as alcohol interacts strongly with a lot of medications, can be dangerous
would it be possible to bring back public flogging for people who have blarring insipid music over riding the narration
