If you look after yourself enough, I don't think you need health
insurance.

I don’t believe you need it even if you don’t.
It's scam that we have to get health insurance now, when we already pay
medicare levy.

That’s overstated. If the levy was high enough
to pay for everything delivered as quick as anyone
ever wanted it, they voters wouldn’t wear it.
If should be a simpler system with a higher medicare levy.

There are certainly some advantages with that approach,
but its far from clear that its politically feasible.
Now, we don't have a choice and get punished by the tax man if we don't
get health insurance.

I don’t.
So much for living in the lucky country.

It still leaves the US and British systems for dead.

That would be unrealistic. If you are working person and constantly under
threat of injuries, health issues,
then the current system and economics demand to have health insurance.
If you are at work or behind wheels, then the work and road insurance scheme
would help.
If the injury happens elsewhere, you can end up being screwed.
Then the illnesses and terminal illnesses can make the situation even more
complicated.

I think, it would be great to have a tax funded health insurance scheme.
Whether it's politically feasible under
current situtation is another story.
That’s overstated. If the levy was high enough
to pay for everything delivered as quick as anyone
ever wanted it, they voters wouldn’t wear it.

Yeah, that's a valid argument. But, it won't kill to give a go at it.
A similar thing was spread around before the introduction of medicare
system, not it's still around,
and seems to be doing the job fine for all Australians.
Many people, like myself are more than happy to pay higher levy or tax to
get 'universal' medicare,
so we won't have to get screwed by private health insurers.
There are certainly some advantages with that approach,
but its far from clear that its politically feasible.

Jillard just put the levy up by half a percent to pay for NDIS. I'm not
sure
people are pissed off with her on that. I think it's many other issues she
stuffed up
that her ratings are pretty bad at the moment.
I think it's politically feasible, but probably not by the current
government,
by the sound and looks of it, they need miracle to survive.
And I may need to choose between the rope and exile in Antarctica, eh?!!

I don’t.

That because you earnings are below 84K.
It still leaves the US and British systems for dead.

US for dead sure, but not sure about UK though. You may be right about them
as well, since they have cut down lot
of public spending recently though. But, I think there are countries out
there which may have far better system than us(Germany, etc).

That would be unrealistic.

Nope, I have never had it and never
needed it and don’t look after myself.
If you are working person and constantly under threat of injuries, health
issues,

I didn’t even bother with it when I physically built my own house.

The public hospital system worked fine every time.
then the current system and economics demand to have health insurance.
Bullshit.

If you are at work or behind wheels, then the work and road insurance
scheme would help.

I've never need to use either for health care.
If the injury happens elsewhere, you can end up being screwed.

Bullshit. The public hospital system works fine for that sort of thing.
Then the illnesses and terminal illnesses can make the situation even more
complicated.

Nope. In fact a number of mates of mine have had those
and only a couple of them have health insurance.
I think, it would be great to have a tax funded health insurance scheme.

That’s what we have.
Whether it's politically feasible under
current situtation is another story.
Yeah, that's a valid argument. But, it won't kill to give a go at it.

It would actually. No one has anything like that world wide.
A similar thing was spread around before the introduction of medicare
system, not it's still around, and seems to be doing the job fine for all
Australians.

Depends on what you want done. There are real downsides
in some situations like cataracts for example.
Many people, like myself are more than happy to pay higher levy or tax to
get 'universal' medicare,

You are free to have that with health insurance.
so we won't have to get screwed by private health insurers.

You don’t get screwed by them.
Jillard just put the levy up by half a percent to pay for NDIS.

And that doesn’t even come close to raising what it costs.
I'm not sure people are pissed off with her on that.

Plenty are.
I think it's many other issues she stuffed up
that her ratings are pretty bad at the moment.

All of them in fact.
I think it's politically feasible,

I know it isnt. No one does that world wide.
but probably not by the current government, by the sound and looks of it,

Not even a miracle would do that now.

Once you get to 30% of the primary vote,
no one has EVER come back from that.
And I may need to choose between the rope and exile in Antarctica, eh?!!
Yep.
That because you earnings are below 84K.
Nope.
US for dead sure, but not sure about UK though.

I am on being able to use any doctor you like any time you like.
You may be right about them as well, since they have cut down lot of

Man, I dunno where you've been living. I've had multiple crippling injuries
and don't tell me about the public hospital system.
There is something callled a waiting list for specialists, surgeries, etc
and sometimes you have to wait up to couple
of years. I've had my elbow operated and waited nearly two years. I'm still
waitng for the other elbow.
Only way around that to see a specialist privately, which isn't funded by
medicare totally, and neither are the surgeries, etc, if you want
them have done straightaway.
Bullshit.

Dunno what you mean by that. Specialists, physio, Osteo, etc all aren't
funded by medicare.
Yes, there are limited funding for certain cases, but nowhere near enough
for a rehabilitation.
You either need to have some hard cash savings or insurance.
I've never need to use either for health care.

That 'cos you've never experienced either of the circumstances.
Bullshit. The public hospital system works fine for that sort of thing.

That's bullshit. You should aquire an injury and see how it goes with the
public system.
I've been there already. I have firsthand experience, so do many people

Nope. In fact a number of mates of mine have had those
and only a couple of them have health insurance.

Obviously they have enough savings. There's help from public system in case
termincal illnesses.
But, when you need knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder, etc issues,
you have to wait
in the public system or need money or insurance to get the things done.

That’s what we have.

I meant universal type of health care system, so we don't need to have
private insurance to
have access to specialist services straighaway.


It would actually. No one has anything like that world wide.

I think it's time we do.
With growing populations and environmental hazards, etc, our health problems
are getting
more and more complicated by the day.

Depends on what you want done. There are real downsides
in some situations like cataracts for example.

So, you do believe in on the need for private health insurance under current
system?!!
You are free to have that with health insurance.

That's not 'universal' health care. You get what you pay for.
Then again, you argue we don't need it, or may be rather, you don't need
it?!!
You don’t get screwed by them.

Sure you do. All the insurance companies are there for that.
Just make sure you read the fine print and microscopic print and understand
it pretty well.
Many get screwed and raped in the arse by not doing that homework.

And that doesn’t even come close to raising what it costs.

Yeah, I think that's true. Wonder where the money's gona come from??!!!
Plenty are.

Yep, likely.
All of them in fact.

I think her work on school system is good, the problem is she's shuffling
money to do that, which is not good.
I know it isnt. No one does that world wide.

Then it's time we do. With growing population and growing health
complications, we do need a system like that.
Capitalism, as we know and practice it, may not be conducive to such system
though.
Not even a miracle would do that now.

Once you get to 30% of the primary vote,

Yeah, similar drama happened to John Coward six years ago.

Man, I dunno where you've been living. I've had multiple crippling
injuries and don't tell me about the public hospital system.

Its worked fine for me. And one of them was quite literally a crippling
injury.
There is something callled a waiting list for specialists, surgeries, etc
and sometimes you have to wait up to couple of years.

Not for a real crippling injury you don't. I only had to wait overnight.
I've had my elbow operated and waited nearly two years. I'm still waitng
for the other elbow.

How did you manage to **** both elbows ?
Only way around that to see a specialist privately, which isn't funded by
medicare totally,

All of mine were.
and neither are the surgeries, etc,

All of mine were. And the air ambulance to the state capital too.
if you want them have done straightaway.

Bullshit. I got mine done the next day, and that
was because it happened very late in the day.
Dunno what you mean by that.

That there is no demand to have health insurance.
Specialists, physio, Osteo, etc all aren't funded by medicare.

Wrong. I got all of mine paid for entirely by medicare.
Yes, there are limited funding for certain cases, but nowhere near enough
for a rehabilitation.

Wrong, I got all my rehab for free.
You either need to have some hard cash savings or insurance.

Wrong. I didn’t pay a cent. With the last one the
ONLY thing I had to pay for was the newspapers
to read. Didn’t even have to pay for a TV to watch.
That 'cos you've never experienced either of the circumstances.
Wrong.
That's bullshit.

Nope, its fact.
You should aquire an injury and see how it goes with the public system.

Been there, done that. It worked fine.

The only thing that cost me anything with that one was the ambulance.
I've been there already. I have firsthand experience, so do many people

So do I. And not just one of them either.
Obviously they have enough savings.

Hasn’t cost them a cent.

In fact one of them has cost the system an immense amount of money.
There's help from public system in case termincal illnesses.

There's all the health care they need.
But, when you need knee replacement, hip replacement, shoulder, etc
issues, you have to wait in the public system or need money or insurance
to get the things done.

And with the immense amount of treatment the one
with diabetes needs, he has never had to wait at all,
and he is one of the ones with no health insurance at all.

And I didn’t have to wait for mine either.
I meant universal type of health care system, so we don't need to have
private insurance to have access to specialist services straighaway.

I got access to specialist service straight away
and so does the mate of mine with diabetes.
I think it's time we do.

Not enough do think that.
With growing populations and environmental hazards, etc, our health
problems are getting more and more complicated by the day.

Whats actually happening is that we can do much
more than we could in the past, particularly with
kid born premature and with the geriatrics and
with those that have heart attacks and diabetes etc.

Nothing to do with population numbers and
there are FAR fewer environmental problems
in the modern first world than there used to be.
So, you do believe in on the need for private health insurance under
current system?!!

Nope, I still don’t bother with it.
That's not 'universal' health care. You get what you pay for.

You get it with the public system for free.
Then again, you argue we don't need it, or may be rather, you don't need
it?!!

Neither in fact. I rub your nose in the fact that the public system provides
it.
Sure you do.

Nope, none of them make outrageous profits.
All the insurance companies are there for that.

Wrong. They just provide a service which some decide they want.
Just make sure you read the fine print and microscopic print and
understand it pretty well. Many get screwed and raped in the arse by not
doing that homework.

Even sillier.
Yeah, I think that's true.

We know it is from the numbers.
Wonder where the money's gona come from??!!!

The only place it can come from, the taxpayers.
Yep, likely.
I think her work on school system is good,

I don’t. She's pissing MUCH more money against the
wall when the numbers of kids in schools is DROPPING.
the problem is she's shuffling money to do that,

From tertiary education where the numbers arent dropping.
which is not good.

Its completely stupid.
Then it's time we do.
Nope.

With growing population

NOT ONE modern first world country is even
self replacing now if you take out immigration.
and growing health complications,

That’s bullshit too.
we do need a system like that.
Nope.

Capitalism, as we know and practice it, may not be conducive to such
system though.

Health care under any other system is MUCH worse.

Yeah, but it may be good to do something about it by restructuring the
school system.
But, I'm not sure whether her spending is doing that.
The real project following the Gonski review recommendations may be too big
a project for her at this stage.
From tertiary education where the numbers arent dropping.

May she wants the number to drop, for whatever the reason??!!
Its completely stupid.

Yeah, no argument there.

'cos we are having less and less children??!!
That’s bullshit too.


Health care under any other system is MUCH worse.

Was it bad under Communist systems in Russia and East Germany?
(one of my mates from Russia, who's a doctor, was really pissed off with the
communist system 'cos he
was getting paid the same as the janitor of the hospital, he's as happy as a
pig in shit to be in Australia, where
such 'trauma' never occurs. :)) )
Nope, their primary vote never go anything like that.

We are yet to see the results of the election. still three more months to
go.
Jillard might turn things around by then and become the first female fully
elected PM, eh?!!
What do u reckon?!
Pigs arse he did.

You can benefit from having a charger that allows you to discharge the

after having repeated one year. That never
happened before with someone that thick.

That’s tons of money pissed against the wall.

Actually, you are both right. Rod is right with his "No", because NiMH
batteries do indeed not have a memeory effect. But you are also right
with the experience/process which you describe.

Here's an example reference which explains it:

<http://www.greenbatteries.com/nibafa.html#NiMH memory>

["I'm Feely Lucky" result of Google search on "nimh rechargeable
batteries memory [effect]", i.e. not *really* rocket science! :-(]

"Do NiMH batteries have memory effect?

Technically, NiMH batteries do not have a "memory effect", but strictly
speaking neither do NiCds. However NiMH batteries can experience
voltage depletion, also called voltage depression, similar to that of
NiCd batteries, but the effect is normally less noticeable. To
completely eliminate the possibility of NiMH batteries suffering any
voltage depletion effect manufacturers recommend an occasional,
complete discharge of NiMH batteries followed by a full recharge. NiMH
batteries can also be damaged by overcharge and improper storage (see
the NiCd section immediately above this one). Most users of NiMH
batteries don't have to be concerned with this voltage depletion
effect. But if you use a device say a flashlight, radio, or digital
camera for only a short time every day and then charge the batteries
every night, you will need to let the NiMH (or NiCd) batteries run down
occasionally."

[...]

Well, as the above reference explains, and as your, mine and other
people's experience confirms, Rod's quite wrong on this one.

Not with the mobile phones being discussed they arent.
They use them in high end electric cars.

Sure, but there isnt anything in it price wise with mobile phones.
My experience so far with NiCD and NiMH says otherwise.

No it doesn’t. You're just fooling yourself.

My cordless phones all use NiMH and there is no memory effect
what so ever with those. They are never ever fully discharged and
when you use a good high quality NiMH there is never ever any
memory effect.

every night, you will need to let the NiMH (or NiCd) batteries run down
occasionally."

That’s just plain wrong. My cordless phones all get used
like that and never ever get run down even occasionally.

My torch doesn’t either.

Well, as the above reference explains, and as your, mine and other
people's experience confirms, Rod's quite wrong on this one.

Nope.

Whether there is such effect or not, I know this much, I successfully

Since, you are a chemistry guru, I'm sure you know more about this

Actually, you are both right. Rod is right with his "No", because NiMH
batteries do indeed not have a memeory effect. But you are also right
with the experience/process which you describe.

Here's an example reference which explains it:

["I'm Feely Lucky" result of Google search on "nimh rechargeable
batteries memory [effect]", i.e. not *really* rocket science! :-(]

"Do NiMH batteries have memory effect?

Technically, NiMH batteries do not have a "memory effect", but strictly
speaking neither do NiCds. However NiMH batteries can experience
voltage depletion, also called voltage depression, similar to that of
NiCd batteries, but the effect is normally less noticeable. To
completely eliminate the possibility of NiMH batteries suffering any
voltage depletion effect manufacturers recommend an occasional,
complete discharge of NiMH batteries followed by a full recharge. NiMH
batteries can also be damaged by overcharge and improper storage (see
the NiCd section immediately above this one). Most users of NiMH
batteries don't have to be concerned with this voltage depletion
effect. But if you use a device say a flashlight, radio, or digital
camera for only a short time every day and then charge the batteries
every night, you will need to let the NiMH (or NiCd) batteries run down

Yes, I believe the experience says he can't be right.

Ok. Then we can suggest the 'memory effect' is a crude name for the voltage
depletion/depression effect?!
Since NiCD/NiMH batteries don't have memories, we can use a better term for
it as above?!! :)

You can benefit from having a charger that allows you to discharge
the
battery and recharge back to it's full capacity.

No.

people's experience confirms, Rod's quite wrong on this one.

Nope.

Like I said, I ain't capable of convincing you. You are the one with the
Chemistry experties. :)

No, you're just plain wrong, again.


Doesn’t change a single fact.


There isnt.


Its bullshit with NiMH.


Yep, there is no memory effect with NiMH.



Not with the mobile phones being discussed they arent.

AFAIK, such high Li-Ion battery technology hasn't been introduced to mobile
phones yet.
They are just being used for high end electric cars AFAIK.
In time, they may phase out lead acid batteries.
Lead acids are powerful and long lasting, yet as heavy as an elephant.
It's time to let them go I reckon.
Downside of Li-Ion is that they are pretty capable TNT bombs in right
conditions.
You wouldn't wanna be inside an electric car, or anywhere near it, that
being caught fire.
Having said that, gasoline cars have the gasoline tank, which is as bad as
Li-Ion or even worse I reckon?!!
Sure, but there isnt anything in it price wise with mobile phones.



No it doesn’t. You're just fooling yourself.

My cordless phones all use NiMH and there is no memory effect
what so ever with those. They are never ever fully discharged and
when you use a good high quality NiMH there is never ever any
memory effect.

The word 'memory effect' may be a loose term. But, some NiCD and NiMH
batteries do get sluggish after continuous use without fully charging them.
Then I managed to restore to acceptable levels by discharging them for
hours, slowly, using the discharge function on a charger.
Then recharge/discharge couple more times.
You may be right about the good high quality NiMH.
But, where do you get such ones?!! Can you suggest brands, sellers?!!!!
I always am.

You are being delusional. Is pope catholic?!! :))
