@Cath62 that is a disgusting amount of out of pocket. When i was 14 i had surgery my parents were in private healthcare and the out of pocket besides what they paid for the cover was the cost of the stamp.
But Im stunned at the difference between the states and what you have had to pay.
QLD health has been in the news a lot lately too.
I do pay the gap between the medicare and the specialists fees when i see them in their rooms. Thankfully that not so often now also There are various outpatient clinics at my local hospital.
I suppose we should be thankful for what we do get. Other countries don’t have any.
