    Our two tier health care system is doing my head in right now.

    No private, means I could wait up to two years for a small procedure.

    Getting private now, means I’m waiting 12 months before my coverage kicks in.

    Going private without insurance could costs me upwards of 10k (which we don’t have).

    Some days I hate what’s become of this country.

        Around 5k with flights. Definitely considering that option. I’ve also been bombarding MPs and Senators with inquires about our current state of Medicare. Won’t do much, but makes me feel better.
