You're relatively speaking better off if you have a serious illness in
the public hospital system in Australia. I have seen plenty of people
arriving in an ambulance from a private hospital either because the
hospital can't provide the sort of treatment they need or because the
hospital is worried that their insurance will run out. I know people
working in the health care industry who have private health insurance
but say that they would rather be in a public hospital if there were
something seriously wrong with them.
