glad I live in a country which has universal healthcare because when i learned abt how much an MRI scan costs in the USA I was gobsmacked. one of the richest countries in the world yet doesn't have universal healthcare

    My wife and I had a baby last week via elective caesarian in the Australian public system. It was a fantastic experience. The doctors and surgeons were amazing. The midwives were amazing and super helpful. We were there for three nights and nothing was ever a problem when we needed something. The only charge was the cost of a new birth control implant (the actual implantation was free).

    They have also been doing follow up home visits to check how my wife and our baby are going since she was discharged, all still free.
