Lunch: Some can only afford two meals a day, choosing between brekkie and dinner and skipping lunch to save money. Medication: Important medications for serious conditions are being skipped due to high costs, which could greatly impact people's health. Therapy sessions: People skip getting help with their health because it costs too much! Even with some discounts available through Centrelink, out-of-pocket costs are out of reach for many.
