   Healthcare is the last industry that should be privatized. It should be for the public good rather than for the profit of few.

      The doctor who killed himself was an Australian man living and working in Australia. Australia has public, universal healthcare.

         Not exactly. The Australian system is mixed public/private and many physicians work at for-profit organizations. While Australia does have some level of universal coverage it's a two-tier system where people who can afford it pay for private insurance to obtain better care.
