Pregnancy can be expensive. When you tally up the expenses covered and not covered by private health insurance, the costs for obstetricians, scans, supplements, and therapies can be daunting.

In this episode of The Quicky, we hear about how one families immeasurable loss sparked a change to the Medicare Benefits Scheme. 

Please note that this episode discusses child loss, and listeners are encouraged to take care when listening.
