Someone struggling financially as much as the author of this article should be eligible for a Health Care Card though, which should give an almost 100% discount on all things medical.

Did you mean "should" as in "should in a perfect world"? Because the Health Care Card definitely does not get anywhere close to providing a 100% discount on healthcare.
