Most people in the UK and Australia wouldn't have health insurance cover Violet as we have a public healthcare system. Some people do take out extra private insurance anyway. When I lived in Scotland I didn't have private heatlh cover and didn't have it here in Australia until recently. We are very fortunate to have a healthcare system where everyone is treated the same at the doctor's surgery (minimal cost)or hospital at no cost. The costs are covered by taxpayers through our Medicare levy. NHS in the UK.
Pn'rs are struggling with thier insurance company for help with treatments. For example, there is no rebate for Botox and physio is only covered for limited visits in one year. I received more treatment and help through the public health system than I did with private health care. I did however have to keep on going from one doctor to another until I found one that fianlly listened and who took an interest in PN conditions. My pain specilaists both work at public hospitals and they have never charged me anthything. I only had to pay for my medications and we get these subsidised too. I think wer'e very fortunate to live in a country where medical care is available to everyone regardless of how much it costs. It might fall short sometimes, but there are many countries where people can't afford good medical care.
The Roho cushion I purcahsed cost me I think around Aus.$140 bought online from the Roho shop. US. I looked up an Australian site and the price would have been around $500. So anyone out there who wishes to purchase a Roho, I suggest you buy it yourself online and not from a local supplier. It's outlasted all my other cushions by far and is the most comfortable.
