yep change in parliament here in queensland.

its coming.

hopefully we'll be able to get someone in who will actually fix our health system not not make excuses

[Kaomika]

It's called a change in Parliament. Neither of us know how much funding was given to the QLD government. You too are playing the blame game, everything is somebody's fault fault. Endless argument really. I wont be responding again.

[liber8me]

labor was given sufficent money. health is their responsibility. they screwed up and have been playing the blame game ever since. here in queensland under the nationals our hospitals used to be among the best in queensland. then along came labor who in the last decade have managed to do immense damage to our system

[Kaomika]

They aren't incompetent. An entire board, senate, cabinet (or what have you) allocated the funds. The funding was most likely never enough to solve Queensland's problems. It's just competition that falls back on the public and the current health care system is a result of it. We'll wait and see what happens in the first year of the Labour Government. Another 3 to go anyway.

[liber8me]

liberals gave labor plenty of money to manage the system here. they failed because they were to incomptent to allocate the funds corectly.

[Kaomika]

Labour in Queensland had Liberal in Federal to answer to. Try managing such a large system when you have a higher power trying to force you out of control.

[liber8me]

yes and if labor here in queensland had managed healthcare properly, back to my point, we wouldnt have to fix it again.

[Kaomika]

Socialism isn't a problem. They are trying to improve public health care. The standard of private should drop, that's my point. It wont go below public, it's an alternative to it. You cannot assume that private companies will cause something, what's done is done and future problems will be fixed. It's the government, they have more power than private companies. Liberals problem surfaces and labour must deal with it.

[liber8me]

taking over and centralising coroporations? sounds very socialist to me...

standards would drop. private would start cutting corners. if people want public health, the government should be able to provide aduquate cover with the money we give them. its immoral if they are unable to do that.

when you go forcing private companies to charge a certain amount things wont bode well...

[Kaomika]

Its called 'Legislation'. Things do happen in Senate you know. If the government couldn't control how much a company charges, if that company is the only reliable source for goods and services, then prices would be far too high. Unethically high even.
