Default Tysabri on PSB in Australia

In today's Sydney Daily Telegraph newspaper, (Sydney, Australia.)

"MS patients get $37,000 medicine relief"

"Multiple sclerosis and renal disease patients will soon receive a subsidy for medicines costing up to $37,000 a year.

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's office said subsidies cutting the costs of the medicines to $31.30 for general patients and $5 for pensioners would apply from July 1, News Limited reports on Wednesday.

The subsidies for Tysabri to treat multiple sclerosis and Sensipar to treat renal disease will cost taxpayers $535 million.

Tysabri currently costs patients $37,000 a year."


Edit: PSB is a typo, sorry. The heading should have read PBS....
