> I'm wondering how much it costs an actual Australian resident/citizen with medicare. Here's the costs for St John's Ambulance. It's $949 for a life-threatening or urgent call, $510 for non urgent. It mentions that Medicare doesn't cover the cost, and that the costs will always be incurred by the patient. (I actually thought it was covered by my private health insurance, but apparently not.) http://www.stjohnambulance.com.au/ambulance-and-health-services/metro-ambulance-service/metro-ambulance-fees http://www.stjohnambulance.com.au/ambulance-and-health-servi... Some doctors in Australia bulk-bill, so it's free for me to go to see a doctor whenever I want. Though for a short period when the government changed the billing rules, he started charging $25 per visit, but he's gone back to bulk-billing again.
