Yes there are a few medications not covered by the PBS, but not many. We are still much better off than the US. The only one i've encountered not on the PBS is klonopin, but that is only like $30 anyway.
It sounds like if you're unemployed in the US then you simply cannot afford medications because you can't afford health insurance? That is not a good system. At least here in australia we only have to pay $5 for medications while on welfare, so it makes it affordable.
