I think that private OBs are going to have to change the way they charge us to suit the new system.

I was trying to figure out the changes and reading the government health website. It said that OBs have been taking advantage of the safety net and they are trying to stop that. So basically, once we reach the safety net limit (and the management fee well and truly guarantees that) OBs are charging more because it doesn't come out of patients' pockets so we don't complain.

So I'm hoping that we don't all end up worse off in the future, but I suppose it will take some time for things to get sorted out. Not great for all the women who just miss out on claiming this year
