Yes, an absolute ----load, I imagine. Which is why access to this pump program is going to be highly, highly competitive and very discriminatory. It's going to be a bunfight for access to this funding, and the substantial majority are still going to be left with nothing.
However the funding isn't adequate, i believe it could have been better administered into:
1. Regulating Private Healthcare legislation to manditorily cover insulin pumps for youth cover, and
2. Spent the $5.5m on expanding NDSS to further support pump consumables and/or testing strips.
Perhaps we should do a means-test for insulin pumps, too?
