   There is a waiting list in Canada, GB. and countries that support universal health care. Health care is costly. How is the opposition planning to shorten the waiting list, print more money, clone doctors and equipment ? Oppositions usually promise the world but never fulfill their promise. Think Biden, he promised he will end COVID. Biden was elected and 500 thousand more people died.

   Australia has increasing waiting lists for “needs” of Health Care.
   It was a problem in that country prior to February 2020.
   Elective Surgery “needs” – scheduled in advance, because it does not involve a medical emergency – the waiting time, not at all helped by the Noval Virus, time frames have Exploded.
   The Australian Health Care Card – is a card issued by the Australian Government which evidences the entitlement of the card holder to concessions, such as the cost of some presciptions medicines, medical services and “other” Government Concessions.
   Australians – can take out Private Medical Schemes but they are Costly, which over the past decade, numbers of Australians having membership of Private Medical Coverage – has dractically declined.
   The term – Medical Services, is expansive, including as an example – Dentistry, Optical – but it is EXPANSIVE – what the holder, of an Australian Health Care Card – have provided for them.
   “Patience is a Virtue” – as it gets back to a Numbers Game.
   Supply of Medical Professionals – like Surgeons – to “needs” of there Skills – the PROBLEM.
   There is no “jumping the queue ” – you wait – till notified of your appointment arrangements.
   Growing population, in the case of Australia people living longer – BUT – the provision of Medical Services – the “need” of PATIENCE – is through lack of Medical Professionals.
   In absolute FAIRNESS – the cost to a Government – of packageing it – the broadness of it – Medical Facilities of Public Service – is MASSIVE.
   In a discussion in recent weeks with my Hungarian GP – and we agreed “common ground” – waiting lists – caused by the under availability of Surgeons/Doctors – and broadly, throughout the Medical Services under the Hungarian TAJ Card.
   Cost to a Government – that will keep increasing and to ATTEMPT – to counter balance – the “need” – to create and allocate into providing additional places for those who wish to study medicine – University places – School of Medicine – to produce increased numbers of Medical Professionals – massive additional bottom line cost to a Government.
   Australia – 26 million people – Hungary 9.6 million people BUT the Public Health Care Systems – are STRETCHED – that demand overweighs SUPPLY – and you Wait your Turn – exhibiting PATIENCE.

   Hungary does not need that, health care works perfect, what is needed is: 1. building more statues, memorials and museums to keep fabricating the history of the last century; more shopping malls, sport centers and, most important, football stadia, possibly in important cities such as, for instance, Felcsut. 2. More money from horrible EU so that it can feed the autocrat’s friends and family. 3. More universities and media outlets to be given to the friends of the autocrat. 4. More useless vaccines from China, to be purchased, of course, for ten times their cost 5. More briberies to buy people’s votes. Etc.etc
