I know there have been new articles and doctors whinging about the medicare care rebate not being raised for ever.
My local medical centre just announced that they are moving to a copay system. Now its going to cost $80 for a consult, and medicare rebate is $39.75, so the person pays $40 out of pocket.
The doctors claim they are going broke by just taking the current $39.75. I don't think that is the case. But even if it is, in what world does someone go from claiming to be going broke to doubling their revenue.
Go to other medical centre.
