So I went to the dentist this morning on a hunch - turns out there's an infection in my front tooth as well and guess who needs a bloody root canal
Dentist didn't give me any painkillers for the duration either, as they can't do it until the 24th so i'm now screaming here.
Thankfully, a friend has helped out with something to tide me over until I can get to a doctor for a script.
If it doesn't rain, it pours

Mind you, what i spend on this will still be waaaay less than what I would've forked out in private health premiums, which still probably wouldn't have covered the whole lot anyway.

Me and my ex had private coverage when our first child was born.
She had to stay in Flinders as our girl was prem.
Cost us $1000.
For our 2nd we'd already got rid of private health, had a baby and stayed in exactly the same room, cost $0.
I've never had to pay for anything medical and have had $650 of dentistry work since I was a kid and am now 48. ($450 of it was a crown replacement for a tooth I go knocked out as a kid)
Hate to think how much money I would have wasted on private health. Absolute scam.

Until you need it.
I could give numerous examples of families I know who have benefited immensely from having private health.
Plus, what price do you put on piece of mind?

And you'd have the benefit of paying more money for the same treatment. Money which could be better spent elsewhere to help them but put into big companys coffers instead.
I couldn't look myself in the mirror if I did that.
I'd agree with you if I lived in America though.
Each to their own and its wonderful we live in a country where it makes no difference except for a waste of money if you take have private health inaurance as I learnt 20 years ago.

Speak to people/families with no private health that have been on waiting lists to get medical treatment for years.
There’s plenty here in Adelaide.

Never have, have only encountered people who have wasted money on private health. Theres plenty x plenty x plenty in Adelaide.
Plenty x plenty x plenty > plenty hence why the big businesses win and people don't.
If people felt they would benefit in this country from private health they'd be smarter entering into a cooperative instead of fleecing companies pockets.
Just did a quick calculation and I would have been close to 100k worse off if I'd kept up private health insurance for my adult life.
And thats despite being diagnosed with a heart condition in my mid 30s which has involved me only attending the best heart doctors in the state at a private hospital for over a decade.
