Police have interviewed the driver at the centre of a tragic crash that killed five people in the regional Victorian town of Daylesford, but no charges have been laid.
Can’t speak to the circumstances of this individual but for myself yes, if my monthly medical costs were comparable to the costs of owning and operating a vehicle that would be a huge improvement.
You misunderstood, don’t drive and put other peoples lives in danger if you can’t afford the proper monitoring. And I do support universal health care, but that isn’t what universal health care is in the slightest……… There is a line and if it cost tax payers money so you can drive when you could just take the bus as another method…. Yeah… come on mate….
Not everyone needs to drive, it’s a privilege, not a right. Universal health care is so you can live and function, not so you can have the luxuries that some healthy people can’t even afford…. Totally different things mate.
The sensors allow better control and management of diabetes.
People with proper diabetic control are less likely to require hospitalisation or other costly treatment for all the bad stuff associated with poor sugar control.
Totally agree that you shouldn’t drive if you aren’t in control of sugar levels but disagree on sensors not being healthcare.
Top of line ones aren’t, just like the bus example, there is other just as viable cheaper options. If someone wants to drive, that’s on them to afford the more expensive one so they can utilize their privilege to drive.
With modern glucose monitoring it’s graphed and generally very predictable.
Quick glance at the phone before driving to know that the sugars are doing and correct if needed.
Unfortunately it’s not subsidised for all insulin dependent diabetics, just type 1s.
The sensors I use are around 100 each and last two weeks.
Arguably if they can afford a vehicle they should be able to afford the monitoring to make it safe for the rest of society.

Glad you support Universal health care friend 🙂
