What is a denor? A quick google didn’t bring anything up
TL;DR: AU isn’t a good model to base change off. Expensive and scammy.
Not sure what a PCP is, but before I left AU earlier this year, my GP visits were ~AU$100 with a $40 rebate. Private healthcare cannot cover the $60 gap by law, along with a host of other specialists and scans. It felt like a massive scam to have private health. Yes there are free clinics you can go to (“Bulk Billing”), but in my experience because they were always overworked and understaffed, the standard of care wasn’t as good. Plus it was hard to see the same doctor regularly, so you waste more of everyone’s time going over your medical history.
Compare that to Germany, I decided to go with public health here, which comes directly out of my paycheque. It’s expensive, but I don’t see that money and I can go to basically any (English speaking) doctor here, pay nothing for the appointment, and prescriptions are 5 or 10€ (only had one so far, can’t remember the exact cost). Standard of care feels much more in line with the private care of AU. I know there are some scans and blood tests I may need to pay for, but nothing feels scammy so far.

You had me in the first part, NGL.
3·1 month agohow profoundly life changes when you stop pointing fingers.
Ain’t that the truth. I can think of a couple of people in my life who would benefit from understanding this.

That was easily my favourite part of the debate, just delicious.
Oh boy, do I have some catch up to do.
Double standards are really harsh, when a woman sleeps with lots of men, she’s a slut. When a man does the same, he’s gay.
In Munich and I’m the same, work to home is 20mins on PT, and everything I need is available at the home end of the journey. If I need to go to a bigger supermarket or something less regular I can take a different way home and stop in the middle. The problem isn’t PT, it’s urban sprawl and poor amenity planning.
Not the brightest bulb in the shed
2·2 months agoHow much is a reasonable amount? I’m concerned I may be over my recommended daily intake.
6·2 months agoAgree with this and the other commenter, the cable that came with my last phone stayed in the box and hasn’t been unfurled. I also agree this is almost certainly more about profit than environmentalism, but unused cables are e-waste, and I like to use a longer cable so the short ones that come with the phone have limited use case for people like me.

FTFY
6·2 months agoEh, I’ve been living in Munich for a few months now, there are rentable e-scooters here and I’ve not had one issue with them as a pedestrian. Although Munich has a lot of bike paths and biking is a very common mode of transport…
On the topic of hand lotion, if you’re wondering what to buy, I can recommend CeraVe, their hand cream smells neutral and is the only one I’ve found that doesn’t leave my hands feeling greasy.
