As I live in Australia the health system is different. I pay $150 a month for health insurance and have my hospital stays completely covered. As I am on a government disability pension I also only have to pay $6 a month for most scripts although some, like Lamogtrigine, are not covered so I can be out of pocket around $1 per pill. I am so thankful for the healthcare in Australia and I hope they don't change it as some are trying to do.
