by Australian comedian Luke Heggie

Australian comedian Luke Heggie reflects on the cost and value we've come to put on things in this new video.

Based on one of his stand-up routines, it was is based on a visit to the doctor – which he describes  in far too much detail.

Australia has a taxpayer-funded Medicare public health system which provides essential hospital treatment, doctor's appointments and medicine for free or for a substantially reduced cost.

And in this sketch – filmed for the ABC's topical comedy series The Weekly down under –  he considers what else the $36.30 he spent on a medical appointment could have got him.
