I still think America needs a system more like Australia's, where there is free health care for all.. but 60% of us still have some sort of insurance and health care is a mixture of private and government funded.

Everyone pays a 2% Medicare levy on their income over $27,000 per year.
Any private medical insurance you take out is fully deductible against that.

So for the VAST majority nothing changes except instead of paying extra tax, your claiming it back.
