By happy coincidence, I am seeing my GP today to renew my four scripts, all of which are in the first batch eligible for 60 day dispensing, which starts today. That's a $90/month reduction in my cost of living. I appreciate that a lot but am particularly glad of the savings for people on low and fixed incomes.
Also, fuck you, Pharmacy Guild
@luciedigitalni My medication is also in the first batch of drugs released, but I have a Health Care Card as a result of receiving the Mobility Allowance through Centrelink pre-NDIS.
All this is a roundabout way of saying the financial impact to me personally is minimal, but potentially significant for others.
However, I am unreasonably happy at this being evidence that we can still enact good public health policy in Australia.
