Wut?



So I'm slightly confused. The "free healthcare" in Australia is based on what is in effect public option insurance (Medicare). It can be bolstered by private insurance, which allows you to select your own doctor, and also paves a way into private hospitals. Yet "public hospitals" don't really fall under the realm of "public" either? Like, the doctors and nurses are largely not government employees. It's like the government is working as some kind of contractor. Can you explain a bit more what you mean about health is public? I get that half your hospitals are "Public Hospitals" funded largely through medicare (taxpayer-paid insurance). But given the labor is not government provided but contract-based...

Yeah, I'm confused. Seeking more info. There's a lot to read on your system. Not as much as in our completely fucked system, but plenty, regardless.


Its hard to explain, medicare is insurance but its not really seen that way, we have private health insurance you can buy into or the completely free medicare which everyone has that is paid from general revenue.
I have both medicare and private health insurance and pick and choose depending on what i need.
Any australian can walk into any public hospital and be treated for free for anything.

There's evidence that excess muscle mass causes similar problems to obesity. Not of the same magnitude obviously.



BMI is a useful health indicator for 99% of the population. That there are edge cases does not discredit it's general use.


A person who is 15-25% body fat and also has significant muscle mass which think track athletes/powerlifters, weightlifters in the 140-220 pound weight class are not going have be anywhere near the muscle bound extra weight.

Being lower body fat with small amount of muscle mass is the best way to ensure you are gonna have a shit midlife and late life time when your body breaks down because your joints are shit because your body isn't strong. Same thing is true being obese with no muscle mass and is probably worse obviously but they are both bad.

Someone who is 10-25% body fat and has muscle mass should have zero concern about the extra muscle mass on their body.

To add, the obesity comparisons afaik have only been drawn to professional body builders, who drug themselves like cattle and pack on a hundred plus pounds of extra weight.

You can add far less mass naturally than most people think, and the benefits are extensive.
