        Nicely spelled out; well done. And it's a reminder that libertarians have never formulated one useful (utilitarian) piece of policy.

        Thanks! I guess it depends on what you define as useful. I'd say life/money saving, but that's just me...

        Thanks for link. One thought: universal health insurance does not necessarily equate to access to affordable, effective healthcare.

        2/2 Perhaps some Australians do die prematurely because of lack of access to health care, for a variety of reasons, including cost
