Lady comes in with a script for Elocon cream and Zyrtec syrup for her daughter. She has a Centrelink health care card. Elocon was covered and Zyrtec was not.
She got soooo upset. "Why is Zyrtec not covered?"
Me: "Not everything is covered. The government and Medicare decides what's covered."
She: "Everything should be covered - its a medicine. People get sick and need it."
Me: "If everything was covered, the country would go broke."
She: "No I don't believe that."
Me: "It's true. The country's has a lot of debt at the moment. You just don't see it. Anyway, you have some medicines that are covered, some that are not. That makes a balance. Some people don't even get a discount. At least you do."
Seriously, so stingy. Be grateful for what you have. Another selfish person thinking for themselves again. I'm sick, I still need to buy meds, noone feels sorry for me.
