Funding a health care system according to need.

Kirrily is the face of many with an ongoing disability who are searching for facilities and resources. (Wednesday AUSTRALIAN 8/1/14) In Kirrily’s case appropriate housing and services for someone of her age. I once mentioned the concept of nursing homes that catered to young people to my mother-in-law. Who at 88 years old, has resided for five years in a very good nursing home. She replied in typical fashion ‘I should like to go there!’ Australians are constantly being told ‘the cupboard is bare’ in regards to health and disability funding. The debate seems geared around accepting less. The Scandinavian model shows funding can actually be suited to need. It is how priorities are set.
