2 full knee replacements in 5 years, a very difficult sinus operation, a cancerous lump cut from my leg.

Rotten bastards made me pay my own taxi fares to and from the hospitals. They forced me to choose a surgeon of my own choice. They even forced me to go out and find a GP of my choice for general health care who bulk bills the government for treatment but do you think the swines will refund by bus fares?. No f**king way.

They even have the cheek to make me pay nearly $6 for necessary drugs that I could easily get over the internet from the USA for about $90.

OK, I paid nothing for the operations or the new knee joints and the crutches but I fork over $14 a month in medicare tax.

No wonder Americans are shit scared. :sarcasm:
