Abstract
Australians enjoy access to a wide choice of subsidised medications, particularly compared with other countries. For example, annual costs for elderly Americans on prescription medications were estimated to be about US$1200 (A$2000) in 2000, with an average prescription costing about US$40 (A$70), whereas Australians generally have to pay a maximum of about $23 for a prescription for a medication that is listed on the PBS.
