Oh I could get Medicare, but because I was never in the country for 6 consecutive months at a time over the 5 years I lived there (traveling for short holidays) they wouldn't grant for me. Doctor + Prescription in Australia is expensive! Would cost me like ~200 give or take. In Singapore, consultation is like $15 and the medicine is prescribed by the clinic so no need to go to a pharmacy, total is like $50. So I don't even bother seeing my insurance doctor where it costs me like ~$5 total, I just go see my normal doctor cos I trust him. (been to same doctor for 6 years)
