Medicare is great for most of us

Medicare is great for most of us

DEAR News Of The Area,

I WRITE in response to Pat Conaghan’s glossy newsletter and comments about poor aged residents who are sacrificing other essentials in order to be able to afford the private health cover they vitally need.

My suggestion is: use your Medicare card like the thousands of other aged pensioners do, and leave those expensive private health insurance companies who make profit from your health coverage.

Regards,

Beverley Sharpe.
