highly doubt your gunna get much response here haha. to be honest ive never really had much to do with it my mum has always taken care of it. but living in the country as i do theres a shortage of doctors and surgeons so if something serious happens you have to get airlifted to melbourne or some other major city. so aslong as your an ambulance member its not too bad, but if your not an ambulance member then your basically fucked, it costs so much $$$. i recently just got my own ambulance cover since i turned 18, its only like 5 bucks a month so its worth it anyway. most people i know have some form of private health care anyway, it isnt to expensive i dont think but as i said i haven't had much to do with it.

Well, while you're in school and college, you get free health care and dentist here...except braces, if you don't get them while under 18 years, you have to pay for it...
It's a bit fucked up couse you have to wait insanely long for surgery and more complex diagnosis +hey it's croatia, a land where corruption rules, so that can screw you up too...
On the other hand, some stuff is getting changed these days, to shorten the waiting time for surgery and stuff, if you have free healthcare (school kids, unemployeed people...) or paying for the state healthcare (when you have a job and stuff...it's 20$ yearly I think) they are now sending you to private clinics and the state pays for it...
All in all...stuff getting better, but the cheap doctors can be faggots when they fasten the proces for people who pay under the table...

I think i can give you a good idea of it, seeing as both my parents are in the healthcare industry/used to work in hospitals.
Basically we have a system that is based around England's system, which is that the government pays for your medical bills, aswell and surgeries, hospital stays, medications. But this is only if your registered with a healthcare provider, like, for example my family is with one called MediCare. And they really do take care of you.
BUT. We have a massive problem, particularly in New South Wales (one of the states) with our public (government run) hospitals. We've been having a whole bunch of crises with our public hospitals in emergency room waiting times and under staffing and lack of supplies. And at the moment the biggest problem is elective surgery waiting times, which in some cases, have people waiting up to 3 years for really simple procedures.
So basically, in a nutshell, Australia certianly has a very good healthcare system, with good doctors and junk, and the government will pay for you if your sick, but at the moment they aren't managing it very well.
Hope that helps you out, and wasnt too confusing.

yeah man
its costs some people like �£2000 to have braces
free for me
it may be free, but its not all good
for example if you earn like �£35,000 a year you would be spending about �£13,00 of that on tax's wich go towards paying hospitals, police, giving free houses and money to those who cba getting a job/imigrants
everything is more expensive over here cos were paying half of what we buy to the goverment
fuel for example is petrol is $1.50 per litre, and about $1 of that goes to the goverment as tax.
but not all things are as badly taxed as fuel.
the only reason we get free stuff is cos higher taxs mean the goverment has more money.
its a pretty fair system if you lose your job and need some money or a home for a while, but too many people abuse it
