Whats scary is that this is going to be a large percentage of us in this country... and so now will come the waiting lists, the people opting for what clinics/FS they can afford (if you can say afford at all) and not their own clinics/FS out of choice....
I appreciate that the FS' and clinics could do their part & drop prices... but honestly, what are the chances of that happening?
From what I can gather, the 'wording' of $550 to 'plan & manage IVF pregnancies' will include the consults/testing AND the actual cycle - a consult with your FS BEFORE the cycle & to pick up drugs can cost approx $150... so there's a large chunk of it there before you even pay for the actual cycle....
Its a devastating blow.... and much worse than I thought - I honestly was expecting for them to perhaps cap the 80% at 1-2 cycles per year & then drop it to a lesser amount... we're not even getting the opportunity for 1 cycle at an affordable rate
Its devastating.... we can only keep writing & then hope that we have the support to try & get it blocked or at least challenged through parliament......
