Caroline, $US100K sounds very expensive for prescription drugs to me.

Here most prescription drugs are covered by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme. The PBS is part of Medicare (not the same as the US system with the same name). Medicare applies to all citizens and permanent residents - it is similar to the NHS in the UK.

Generally, a drug which is on the PBS list costs no more than about $A40 per prescription (less if you are a pensioner).
