Not on a theoretical level, but how would you practically have to pay costs, access specialist doctors?

    Concurrunt public and private system, it’s obviously busier with less doctors in the public system, and it’s free. Specialists too. Expect to wait six to twelve months for a specialist.

    Private system is affordableish but on the expensive end, especially with complex issues. Also expect to wait six months for a specialist, in complex cases twelve months is not unheard of.

    Medications get capped at $30, unless the government doesn’t agree it’s a useful med, then you pay full price.
