Your Shortcut to... What the PBS is all about

What this episode covers

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) provides affordable access to necessary medicines for all Australians. It’s one of the cornerstones of our health system - but as with so many issues in the news at the moment, all roads lead to US President Donald Trump… So in this Squiz Shortcut, we get you across where the scheme fits, how it works, and the issues bubbling under the surface of the US-Australia alliance. Squiz Recommends: Reading: This article from the Sydney Morning Herald gives a good overview of the push by US big pharma companies for the Trump administration to put pressure on the Aussie government by imposing tariffs on our drug exports. Squiz Shortcuts is your back story to the big news stories… This podcast is brought to you by Visit Canberra Want the email version? Sign up for the Shortcuts newsletter here
