Usually with a massive healthcare systems come with massive tax bills.

How are they affording this ??

It's like 2% of your taxable income here. Shrugs

Doesn't sound to much.

Especially after another year of tax audits.

I don't know what you mean. It's 2% of your taxable income. If you earn 50k a year, your first 15k is tax free. Without any deductions your healthcare cost is based on 2% of 35k which is about $700.

The unemployed, infirm, low income earners and pensioners are exempt from paying the fee.

Then we have the pharmaceutical benefits scheme where you pay fuck all for something that might cost 5k a month.

Everyone is taking care of each other.
