Foxy, i'm a great butcher, but unfortunately not too computer savvy, so just cant seem to apply online, which is why I went to seek help.

Poirot, yet another Abbott bashing thread for you to sink your teeth into hey.

How are you going with those figures?

Computers have been mainstream since 1980, that is ample time to learn something about the system. We cannot run a duel system. So get with it.

Get on the NBN that is supposed to be the greatest. A mishmash of this that and the other. What a disaster. Turnbulls centrepiece.

As Foxy said...

I have never had to make a claim at Medibank. The practitioner sends the details to Medibank, and the refund goes into my bank account.

Dear runner,

I would not be without private health cover.
Yes, we also have paid a fortune over the years -
but found that it has been worth having as in my
case it was not a matter of" elective surgery" but
life or death. And without private health cover
we would have had trouble financially. Private
health cover has served us well. As has being
subscribers to the Ambulance service. Worth having,
worth supporting. That's how I was brought up.
