yeah but if you are in OZ and i am presuming you are because Sonny and Skip are in your avater, there is a program not many know about that gives you up to 4k worth of treatment. that is how i just had so much dental work done. thousands of buckeroos worth and NOT at the government dental hospital.
What's that one millie? is it the "Howard" one where you have a dangerous condition that is also affected by dental health you get money to spend on dentistry or something? How does it work?
They always seem to be on the brink of scrapping that since Labor came in, I know there's been a lot of money allocated for public dental work here, but one MP is holding it up over some other power play.
I'm in TAS.
yes...that is it. i qualify for it because i am bascially a no-hoper who fits the criteria.
you go to your gp, and you need three thigns wrong (easy with me...where do i start....) and then 4k is allocated to you for the three different problem areas. then you find a dentist who is cool with the scheme and most private dentists are, and you just make your booking at the dentist and then everything is billed to medicare (unless orthodontic.)
I am as left as you can get - Rudd (who i view as Howard in tintin clothing) has tried to pull it down a couple of times but the recent economic problems have meant the scheme has been maintained. it is probably the only good thing that f@#$khead Howard implemented. (and i'll bet it wasn't his idea.....)
so, tasmania? i'm up near byron bay - living in the old counterculture lost world. a good place for me.
