OSHC….
Overseas student’s health cover
Took me awhile to say OSHC fast and correct.
I think it’s a rip off! It’s not just the name that’s bothering me. They make us, international students, pay like mad! Then stay quiet for the whole year and then WHAM!!! charge us again the next year.
We have to pay so darn much and not get anything back from it. I think it’ll only be worth it if I fall sick now or get myself a minor surgery done, so I can go get back my $300 health cover, or else it’ll b put to waste…. again!
I didn’t use any of it last year and I think it was more than RM700!!! Killer la… come, someone, anyone!!! Break my leg and send me to the hospital.
The thing about Adelaide’s hospital (note: I think there’s only one…), they only tend to u if ur case is a matter of life and death. U’re already hurting our wallets so badly now u wanna play with our emotions and our lives!?! Too much la.
But then again… the service is good (so I heard). Very pro~
Well, bottom line is I’m broke, insured and painfully (in money sense) alive.
About Me
- jezamine
- I’m a small person, with a lot of things to say. I love God, love my family, love my friends, love food, and love my life. Yet… its not right to be jolly all the time, so complaints makes things more interesting sometimes. I can be narcissistic at times, but it’s still under control… I get excited when it comes to music, bass guitar, singing, snapping pictures of weird signs, lame jokes, meeting people, making random comments, movies, and laughing. Knowing the real Jez takes more effort than just reading her blog =) but it would be great if you could toss in a comment when you drop by. Happy reading~

woahhhh... i didnt know that.
probably i SHOULD get sick or hurt... hahah
thx christina!
So we're worth more money when we're sick than when we're healthy? How tragic. Heh ;)
Someone once mentioned that we can get referrals for some annual medical checkup/tests and get OHSC to cover it. Haven't tried, but could do that if you want to get your money's worth (better check out which ones are covered too, just in case).
And you've got a cool blog! :)
