shermann7, better than you have, however some problems, e.g. dental was taken out of medicare a
couple? of years ago to save money. That hurt, and hurts many big-time. It was not a worthy move.

You're right on the 2% levy, but there is also a surcharge if you don't have some private health insurance ..

Probably the major debate here on health is the amount of subsidization the private industry gets from government.
