In Australia, you can have private health insurance that allows you to choose hospital, doctor that you want, or we have medicare which everyone is entitled to and it allows you to go to a public hospital and see the doctor thats working that day and have tests needed and treatment and it is for free. The only thing is sometimes you are put on a waiting list and havea to suffer til your turn, for example the waiting list for braces for kids teeth is 4 years so in those circumstances private helath cover is the way to go, but if you are in an accident or have a serious complaint most times the medicare system works ok...some doctors also bulk bill medicare too so you can see a doctor in his practice for nothing if your lucky
