essentually your weapons and possibly your health care system

I personally think the health care is pretty good here...but there is a big push to privatise everything like America.
I don't have private health care just the standard MediCare which all citizens are entitled to. I was hospitalised for a week & still ended up not paying anything for my stay. So what if I had to share a room with 4 other patients, I wasn't there for a vacation.
