I have private health cover which is alot and I have The NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) is an Australian government initiative providing funding to people with permanent and significant disability to access support, services, and equipment. This is really good for people who need support in day-to-day living.
Great help

The medicine my neurologist put me on at First I'm insurance declined. Neurologist gave me 4 months. Two weeks later approved. One months supply is $10,000.00 I get 3 months supply for $44.00. So what kick back did my neurologist get. Handing me 4 months supply. I do not have any problems getting refills. When it's due he automatically puts in prescription. I do not have to go to his office. Our meds should not cost the outrageous prices

I agree that our healthcare system is broken but I don't blame the doctors. I'm sure there are some doctors who push certain meds but my experience with doctors is that most of them are overworked. Getting through med school requires you to really bust your butt. There are far easier ways to make more money. I think most doctors do it because they genuinely want to help people and they are victims of the system as much as we patients are. In fact, this will be controversial, but I don't even blame the pharmaceutical companies. Yes, all they care about is profit but that's all any company cares about. The real villains IMO are the US politicians. Every other industrialized nation in the world has universal healthcare. When politicians say we can't afford it they are simply lying. There are studies that show universal healthcare is cheaper in the long run than the for profit model that only the US has. When you factor in things like lost productivity, diseases that go untreated until the patient shows up in the emergency room, etc. There are studies going back at least to the 1980's that show the US spends more of our GDP on Healthcare than any other nation but our outcomes are at the level of 3rd world nations. Politicians from both sides can be bought by Big Pharma but it is the Republicans who essentially have made a religion out of the free market and try to privatize everything, with the result that the basic infrastructure of the US from roads to water to healthcare continues to cost more while the quality continues to degrade. I usually try not to get political here but the situation with the con men and fools that control the Republican party is so dire, it has to be dealt with. And the Democrats are also mostly controlled by people who put the benefits of corporations before people. If we don't reverse things soon our children will inherit a world that is unlivable for most of them and that does away with things we take for granted like the chance to get and use an education and to still have a livable life even if you get a serious disease like MS. That's why I went to the No Kings protest last Saturday, even though I had to hobble along with my cane. From illegal wars, to throwing people in what are essentially concentration camps, to threatening even our allies like Denmark with war those who run this nation are insane and immoral and if we care about future generations we all need to do something about it.

We're like lab mice to lots of the medical / pharma profession, they try things out in the hope of being the one that's chosen.
The Golden egg.
Sound familiar?

LOL, on being singled out.Sadly, it's not the Drs mainly making the big bucks as most are just suggesting the best drug they think is out their for their patients. The drug companies are making out like bandits. For example, Betaseron which was a $1000 a month when approved but bumped up prices upon each drug approval and prices set. Now it is almost 10K a month, with no real inovations or trials supporting it. Just a commercial team pushing it. The medical teams are out there pushing how good it is for patients. I was part of the approval for the first generic Copaxone and the price was set at almost 74% of branded Cipaxone. There was alot of pushback by patients and physicians and the price finally dropped plus competition came out.The system is severly broken.
