It's crazy to me that your health care is dictated by your company that you work for.
Companies are known to try make money not spend it.
I say this sitting in a hospital now at 1am with my wife cause she's having very bad pains during pregnancy all for free, despite them saying we will likely have to drive 20kms to the next hospital because this one is underfunded and understaffed
I hate were i live, it's our coldest time in the year and tomorrow's high is 32.
36 is normal during the hot time of year along with massive humidity too
It's wild, I can't smell Def at all.
I'll give you the fact it's nightmare to repair especially on plant machinery.
Constant issues haha
To add to this as a Diesel mechanic,
Diesel engines are designed to operate continuously for the most part, the most wear and tear on the engines happen during start up and shut down.
They take large batteries and more effort to start so repeatedly doing that over and over in short intervals will lead to flat batteries and burnt out starter motors
Diesel engines run most efficiently I.e less pollution and better fuel economy when warm, cold engines cause more soot etc.
The engines wear poorly and develope carbon deposits from stop start operations too increasing fuel consumption and NOX emissions.
Lastly but certainly not the end of it is most Diesel trucks have what's known as a turbo timer, this keeps the engine running 2 minutes or more depending on settings after the ignition is turned off.
This allows oil flow around the turbo and prevents unnecessary heat damage to components.
Certainly if i applied some thought to this i could come up with more reasons and others could argue against but that's what I've got to say on the matter
Great write up, solid work thank you
Cocking naura
I tried to read it to the tune of we didn't start the fire, and it kinda works you just gotta put some flavour in it and you can be the next weird Al
Just like the damn board
Small chance you still might, I'll cross my fingers for you
You got me, please excuse me while I shed my skin for the new week
Yeah what a horrible thing, everyone having access.
I think Australia's system is reasonable. If you have money you can have private health and get seen faster etc and bypass the public system.
Unfortunately where I live its rural especially by American standards 260,000 people in my whole state (technically a territory ) we have 3 cities two 20kms apart and the third 1500kms away with its own hospital there.
So it's hard to service two hospitals so close to each other and tithe private maternity ward was just shut due to lack of income
