People not filling prescriptions because of cost





https://www.smh.com.au/healthcare/one-in-10-people-not-filling-prescriptions-because-of-cost-20200225-p5445o.html





A lot of people delayed filling prescriptions in part of Sydney and avoided visiting the dentist because of cost.

In my opinion, It's a real issue prescription is very necessary and delaying treatment may have significant implications for health .in addition that person could suffer from the illness for a long time.Even though most prescription medicines are subsidized under the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, people who are on multiple prescriptions or those on low incomes can still face cost hurdles.
