I chuckled at this being the top comment. I did the same and will be joining you soon in Melbourne! I think the Australian system is the best model for the US to copy, not Denmark or France or what not. But it's never even mentioned here since apparently it's unpatriotic to admit other countries have figured out things we can learn from. It's got the essential public option with the private system running in parallel for those that want it or can afford it (higher incomes are tax incentivized to obtain it). The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme is desperately needed in America but the pharma lobby would burn the country down before they allowed that to happen.
