Tho haven’t paid a cent so… yes Australia is lucky. Other than doctors fees which are $110 to get results etc. which I’m fine with.

Get bloods because of chronic health issues. Blood results mean I need an ultrasound. Which results in CT. Which results in follow up in six months plus two more CTs. Fucking hell no.
