Lots of doctors here bulk bill and they are just as good as any other private doctor.

You have health insurance? Lucky. I had to get several letters written to the public dental school to take my wisdom teeth out without a year long waiting list because it cost $600 to get them out rather than $2000+ private. You've really got to have money to look after yourself in this country.
