If you think that a human right to
health is not an issue in a wealthy country such as Australia, just take a moment to
consider the concerns regarding the quality of care provided to asylum seekers, that we detain children at the cost of their mental
health, that some Aboriginal communities don't have access to running water, and that we currently seem determined to impose an economic
barrier to accessing primary care.
As your therapist, I try to
consider all aspects of your world and life including culture, family, tradition,
health,
barriers, economy, and so forth.
