I was contacted well in advance so knew about the changes/temporary access issues. Can't say I understand why it needs to be for so long to change administration. That seems excessive. So long as the new group are quicker to process stuff in future.

Wow, you guys at SDC really love Labor & their Medicare lies. Where's the asterisk on the link to the article (I'm assuming you're getting paid to spruik this Labor propaganda)? Let's be clear, Labor have manufactured the GP shortage, BB crisis & lack of after hours doctor availability. For...

Well, colloidal silver is not a herb. It's a heavy metal! Look up Argyria. The only case I've ever seen was in a lady taking colloidal silver!

Where did SDC really get this article? Who calls carbonated soft-drinks Soda in Australia? Also most of the details about the side effects are pseudoscientific gobbledegook. For instance, phosphoric acid could help dissolve bones - in a beaker! But since our bodies break down compounds in a...

People have long had these available. Yet the mortality rate pre-true antibiotics was enormous. Says a lot about their real efficacy!

The odds are your husband's treating doctor used the term "root" in an attempt to explain a concept s/he wished to convey. Don't get me wrong. I'm not trolling. Your husband's sad experience is contrary to normal. BCCs only spread by direct growth & can be extensive if there long enough -...

Actually, that is incorrect. BCCs can uncommonly grow inwards as well as outwards, but not "roots". It sounds more likely your husband had SCC. Even then it would net explain the quoted cost. No clinics are "funded by Medicare". It is Patients who are insured for a specified, limited rebate...

Can SDC kindly explain why the $9000? Is she an overseas student so not covered by Medicare? Even then it would have to be an expensive version of plastic surgery level of charge. BCCs essentially don't spread, so local excision is curative.

Where's the "Ha Ha" button? There's zero chance the texts mentioning mountains all mean this man-made pyramid. As for whether the scans have detected man-made objects, how that can be construed as supporting his imaginative views is ludicrous.

Yeah right. $7 to see a GP is so like in the US - NOT! And since Labor wouldn't do anything real to support General Practice, we pay $40 odd dollars extra out of pocket. And that's supposed to be a better deal than $7? Get real SDC.

Like hell it is. The government fund it from our taxes, & it is shonky underinsurance even then. The only reason they spruik it is because people don't get it, focussing on getting something supposedly for free, & so it's a vote-winner.

What do you expect for $41 rebate? They call it universal health insurance, & the government spruik Medicare shamelessly, but only insure us for less than half what it costs. What other businesses can survive on over 50% discount?

Some of the funds mentioned do not have 2 factor identification available. I have it with my Super company, & though it takes a bit longer to receive & enter the extra numbers, I think it's worth it. And has anyone else noticed a spike in facebook messenger requests from "friends" saying "Hey...

In fact the Australia Institute is left oriented & funded, half the drugs are NOT commonly prescribed in Australia (rather cherry-picked for the largest discrepancy), & the dollars are dodgy - the $31.60 is the patient co-payment maximum - the drugs actually cost the PBS more, but then the gap...

This article contains quite a few inaccuracies. For instance you write, "Australia’s system allows generics to be listed on the PBS quickly, ensuring lower prices for consumers sooner", but unless you mean Private prescriptions (so NOT PBS) then we the public are NOT the consumers. The PBS is...

Medicare does NOT in fact cover Australians off-shore on cruises. You should always take out travel insurance.

How many people with $800K to give away qualify for the Government aged pension?

Love their marmalade & can still get it at SPC factory sales in Shepparton.

I put on a little weight & cut the sugar out of my coffee near 35 years ago & discovered coffee tastes yuk! Stopped it & never noticed any reduction in alertness nor withdrawal symptoms so never went back. I've developed (benign) palpitations recently so would have needed to cut out caffeine...
