wow. The public health mess is because we had a government who didn’t believe in public health and savaged the universities where health professionals are trained . There has been a slow transition from government funded health care to private health care, and from public education to private education or at the very least user pays
add to that insistence on a comparatively low tax regime and you get what you get
funding from federal to state governments for health care comes through budgets. The last government announced initiatives across a range of portfolios in the final budget and then in most cases did nothing to ensure appropriation to fund them - a double mess and ensures business as
now we are waiting for the government to pull together their budget, within the constraints, obligations and funds available to them. Maybe they should increase taxes
