It’s funny we finally got here. For the longest time it was the exact opposite. There is hope, maybe we can still turn this ship around (before it falls off the edge).
Finally? Private health rebates have been around quite some time. There’s been a two-tiered system for non-emergency hospital healthcare for literal decades now, and we don’t have a fully public system anyway. So much of our doctors are subsidised private businesses.
Let’s be clear, this whack-a-mole of bulk-billing is never gonna end until we vastly expand directly employed healthcare workers, at competitive rates, and kill the profit motive in our healthcare system.
Death to private health insurance. All of it. It’s a scam.
Not saying this is you, but I grow tired of Australians being proud of the state of Medicare. Chiming in to dunk on the Americans is super cringe because the bar is so, so low.
