Trump praises Australia's universal healthcare system

NEW YORK -- Seconds after praising his party's efforts to pass a new health-care bill that estimates said would leave millions uninsured, President Trump praised Australia's government-funded universal heath-care system.
"We have a failing health care -- I shouldn't say this to our great gentleman and my friend from Australia, because you have better health care than we do," a tuxedo-clad Trump said at a meeting with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in Manhattan on Thursday.
Australia has a government-funded health-care system, called Medicare, that exists alongside private insurance. The system is funded in part by taxes, including on the wealthy.
The comments came hours after Republicans in the House narrowly approved legislation that would repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

That's not praise. The ACA blows. Doesn't take much to beat it

You at least are proficient at accomplishing your masters initial but failed pledge of transparency.
Anytime I see a post made by you I know it will be bullshite, easy to see through.

If you aren't smart enough to understand what he is saying here, then you shouldn't be allowed to start a thread on it.
I could take a dump in a few minutes, and it will be better than Obamacare.
Quote me.
Then you can start a thread stating "EZE praises his turd for having a better health insurance plan than Obamacare".

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.

So what you're saying is a country homogeneous demographic with a population smaller than some states in the US that rests on a island with an immigration policy the UN has claimed infringes on human rights can administer a successful universal healthcare system?

Personal attacks on toddy instead of asking how the Aussie two tiers system covers all hands.
Rich get platinum coverages.

And? He's right. After half a decade of Obamacare the system is shot. Did you think he was referring to pre-Obamacare in the U.S.?

Are you agreeing with Trump that Obamacare sucks?

Lol at Trumpkins arguing for something that will never happen.
