I did not know it had its roots so far back. I also did not know that it did not cover all things. So you still need or should have some form of health care coverage that you pay for out of pocket. It sounds like it covers major medical that can have catastrophic costs but not some of the less life threatening things that you mentioned. Do you carry any of the coverage that you mentioned and how are the costs, do they seem high and going up by a great deal each year? I wonder how those costs compare to ours in the States. Who sets the cost of this coverage? In other words are the providers heavily regulated as to the prices they charge or just what ever the market will bare as ours seems to be? I find this thread very interesting as I believe we need some serious reform here I just don't really understand what the options may be. I know some of our in real costs come in the form of medication. All the while I understand the need to make a profit to sustain the cost of research and development some things are just about criminal as to the cost for some meds that are considered needed to stay alive. I have had two different friends that needed drugs that were simply out of sight. One about 15 years ago was over $10,000.00 a month and more recently another was well over $20,000.00 a month. Both were able to request assistance from the drug company's and they reduced the cost but it was still high. It shouldn't happen that an accident or illness that puts you in the hospital of a few weeks can cost you what you and your wife have worked all your life for. That can and has happened to many people.

After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
