One Nation, which is controlled by allies of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, is airing the ads as the second half of a $3 million ad buy aiming to build support for the politically explosive repeal of the health law. The group has already aired television ads in nine states, and is also spending money on digital, print and direct mail.

This needs to be countered. Is there any left wing ads I have not heard them. Why would Australia want the GOP health care plan?

So what is a health system? According to the World Health Organization, a health system is 'all the activities whose primary purpose is to promote, restore and/or maintain health' (WHO 2013b). Further, a good health system 'delivers quality services to all people, when and where they need them'.

While the configuration of services varies from country to country, common elements include robust funding mechanisms, a trained workforce, reliable information on which to base decisions and policies, and well-maintained facilities and logistics to deliver quality medicines and technologies (WHO 2013a).

Australia's health-care system is a multi-faceted web of public and private providers, settings, participants and supporting mechanisms. Health providers include medical practitioners, nurses, allied and other health professionals, hospitals, clinics and government and non-government agencies. These providers deliver a plethora of services across many levels, from public health and preventive services in the community, to primary health care, emergency health services, hospital-based treatment, and rehabilitation and palliative care.
Public sector health services are provided by all levels of government: local, state, territory and the Australian Government. Private sector health service providers include private hospitals, medical practices and pharmacies.
Although public hospitals are funded by the state, territory and Australian governments, they are managed by state and territory governments. Private hospitals are owned and operated by the private sector. The Australian Government and state and territory governments fund and deliver a range of other health services, including population health programs, community health services, health and medical research, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health services, mental health services, and health infrastructure

We should be fighting them tooth and fucking NAIL on this.

I'm so frustrated. The Dems never promoted ACA and it's a damn good plan for many of us. Where are they?
