re: Trump praises Australia's universal healthcare system

Australia has some sort of two-tier system of public option and private option insurance.
If you make a certain amount of money, you are expected to buy private insurance or else you receive some sort of surcharge/tax levy of 1.5%. There is also a rebate system in place to encourage people to buy private insurance.
The public option costs taxpayers 2% of their income (with exceptions for lower income people). Also, the public option doesn't always cover 100% of costs.
Just thought I'd drop some facts in here.
