Aussie fails to refute if a governmental health care system was in place, prior to the uprising.
She's a perfect intellectual fit for our new hematology specialist.
Come to think of it, if he watches Al Jazeera with aussie, too, he just might realize that hematology is a specialized field within Internal Medicine and NOT just a hum-drum "lab tech" vocation.
There was never health-care with a level of country-wide accessibility and quality on par with most western countries in Syria. I think that's probably obvious enough that it goes without saying to anyone actively engaged in this thread. But, maybe not. Perhaps to the Australian Mental Health professional and Middle Eastern expert that means that health care never existed in Syria.
Or, perhaps an interference with standard civilian service due to civil war interruption and focus is equivalent to health care being currently "non-existent" according to aussiefriend standards.
In either case, "no" obviously doesn't literally mean "no" to aussie. It's just an absolute that she tossed out there, likely due to lack of understanding or in an inept attempt to bolster her point.
Anyway, I found the Syrian tax and health care stats/data released by the World Health Organization interesting in context with the discussion upthread, even if Director Cho failed to run them through the aussiefriend logic translator prior to release.
