The appropriate amount of tax dollars should be allocated to doctors so that they can make enough money without machine gunning through as many patients as fast as possible
The government funds GP's perfectly adequately, they don't need to boost any funding for them what so ever.
GP's who operate in a full time capacity privately and bulk-bill 100% of their patients still earn in excess of $250K a year AFTER all associated costs and expenses of running the business. Those who have been doing that in a practice they run are earning well over $400K within a couple of years. GP's who work publicly and bulk-bill 100% of patients area also earning well in excess of $200K AFTER all associated professional costs.
To think the tax payers need to be subsidizing playboy lifestyles for the wannabe rich and famous, who already earn well more than triple the median income, is crazy.
Yes but we did get submarines - in 2040!
Are you from the future? That why you know this?
came to read the thread that’s about to get spicy
Quickly grabs the popcorn
Had to go to the GP seeing this post and they don’t even bulk bill 😃
Comparing to USA, yes i love my medicare.
it's difficult enough getting 8 S/T jurisdictions to agree. imagine doing it for 51? of them.
Especially among those further than far right….

Far right: Anyone who disagrees with me.

Wait til you get cancer then ask yourself the same question.
The US system is expensive, but you get what you pay for, and the US has better survival rates than here. It's almost equivalent to saying you prefer Commodore over a Corvette because it's cheaper.
I wonder how that survival rate applies over different socio economic groups?
can we all just go read the last thread and be done with the comments :)
People from Sydney Eastern Suburbs - What is medicare?
The area that has firmly voted labour to protect Medicare
Are you talking about Wentworth?
Kingsford Smith. the division is almost 3/4th the Eastern Suburbs. For state we have Maroubra, Heffron and Coogee around me (again everything but tiny tip of the East, Vaucluse) are all labour voting seats. Maroubra is one of the few districts that have never elected anyone but labour. These areas cover almost all the population of the East and its always about the buses and Medicare for locals here.
@Froot Loops: Yeah - nah, when people talk about "The eastern suburbs" of Sydney - they are talking about the suburbs to the east of the CBD. Or when talking about Federal politics - the seat of Wentworth.
@the-fuzz: I live in the Eastern Suburbs in a labour area. Those in Vaucluse and Dover Heights do not represent our entire community stance and they are East, but a tiny fraction. Western Sydney seems to be more pro-liberal area if you want to compare the two. Libs normal get the flip seats there that decide the election.
@Froot Loops: People in the real eastern suburbs just read what you wrote and vomited on their Prada loafers
Point piper loves labour 🤘
Who seriously looks at the US healthcare system and views it as desirable…
Social equality
some of the things that make Australia great to live in are based on socialism. if you take those away, I think the lifestyle will be a fair bit less desirable.
we shouldn't go full socialist though.
This seems like very troll-ish behaviour. May we know how much your fortnightly Centrelink payment is?
Nice this guy has solved poverty by telling people to 'work hard'. That was easy!
Yeah, but if you get sick you can't work hard.
You sound like fun at parties
Hey there Fat Hockey!
Haha no social security. Yep when people start looting we'd need to bring back guns for personal protection.
Next time a teenager knocks on my door, obvious looter, Ima shoot him dead.
Uneducated foot-soldiers in the culture wars (aka outrage cannon fodder)
false dichotomy
Hope you don't need to use public roads or need the fire department when your home burns down. Sick of you free loading from my tax $$$$$$.
Just wait till you get bit older.
@SuperLate: There is a point though. Those that eat themselves into poor health, smoke or are hypochondriacs make it worse for the rest of us.
They better not be using the public parks either. Tax payers paid for them also.

This is the standard response which only shows the Leftist ideas are economically ignorant.
Read this then come back: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good_(economics)
You are not rich, you are poor. You are arguing for tax cuts for the rich, and services cut for you.
Medicare means hospitals and pharmaceutical companies must negotiate with a national insurer, and keeps costs down. If you want to see what happens to costs when you negotiate individually you can pull up one of the many articles covering price gouging of healthcare in the USA. Medicare saves you thousands of dollars a year even if you never use any health services.

You comparing apples with oranges here. The US and Australian systems both have pros and cons, it is possible to have a system that is the best of both.
What would be the best aspects of both? I think free's pretty popular all 'round
I think free's pretty popular all 'round
It would be extremely ignorant to think that anything is free. Someone is paying for it somewhere, but of course freeloaders want their free ride to remain free without trying to understand how it works
The benefits of our system only continue to work because Medicare is comprehensive and covers the entire population.
Washing it down makes it useless as a negotiating party - have a look at what obamacare has achieved.
We are already at the 'middle ground', healthcare isn't free unless you are on a pension or centerlink.
All my cousins in bankstown, punchbowl and lakemba thank you for your tax contributions to their centrelink payments.
They have requested "We Love @thesaver" stickers to be printed
So you know it's not a deal, you know you will get negged for posting a not deal, but you did it anyway because?
Some people like to start class wars
Technically it is a deal
A bargain if you will
Its as much of a deal as ING removing its overseas ATM rebate…
Looks like another 2 free stickers in there too .
I would order to rack up some cost to them .
But I'm unsure of what they will do with the data .
And I couldn't be bother using ghost acs for this crap .
Very grateful for my union, they've really helped me get a much better enterprise agreement with my employer.
I just wish there was more pressure to fund Medicare from anyone other than the Greens.
I just wish there was more pressure to fund Medicare
Why don't you fund it? First give all of your money to Medicare, then we'll talk. Why do all the good socialist ideas require you spending other people's money?
I do fund it with my taxes you flog.
And the billions lost to scammers in the system .
Well done .
As I said I don't want a $1 total cost sticker :)I do fund it with my taxes you flog.
But you want it to have better funding, what's stopping you from giving Medicare more of your own money?
Why do all the good socialist ideas require you spending other people's money?@1st-Amendment: You do know that taxes pay for services, right? Are you being deliberately antagonistic or are you actually slow?
If you're being paid to make strawmans, can you let me know who's paying you? I could use it to subsidise my continually underfunded medical bills.
Are you being deliberately antagonistic or are you actually slow?
You are the one failing to keep up with the conversation.
Go back and read the thread again, it's pretty straight forward. You want more funding for Medicare, but you don't want to pay yourself you want others to pay for it. How very noble of you.
I'll dumb it down even further, If you want Medicare to have more funding, why don't you give them more of your own money? What is stopping you from doing that today?
@1st-Amendment: Nah. Just up everyone's tax by 3%.reduce migration and scrap AUKUS.
Universal healthcare rocks
That would make all politicians Lefties, which would (in your Utopia) leave you in a pretty ordinary space.Unless of course you and your righteous mates intend to build all the road,rail,hospitals,schools etc for your own private use.
The difference between the LNP spending other peoples money, is who it benefits, and how they hide it. Bring on the federal ICAC.You are in the wrong country if your enemy is Medicare.
I'd rather have our government print once actual stickers with a true statement and that reflects their actions. How about "smile, we're 90 seconds to midnight on the doomsday clock. Brought to you by Australian government"
But then again knowing that 90-95% of Australians are complete consumerSHEEP that wouldn't understand it at all and can't wait to line up for doughnuts. Plus that kind of statement is bad for economy, at the end of the day economy is everything…. Even if end is around the corner, closer than ever before.
Maybe it's too complicated. Let's stick with Medicare, i love it! ^_^

Sounds like the majority on here.
define "doomsday clock"?
um ok
but how is that "Brought to you by Australian government"?
In VIC we can't use it because Dan has stuffed up the ambulances and hospitals…
Yes it IS…
But we’re in a crisis under his leadership?
The offload delays left only eight per cent of metropolitan ambulances available to respond to call outs, and in one hour, a total of 69 urgent triple zero calls were left sitting in a pending queue waiting for an ambulance.
were left sitting in a pending queue waiting for an ambulance.
Brent Harvey had to wait an hour on the weekend with a badly broken leg waiting for an ambulance to arrive.
https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/afl-icon-brent-harvey-rush…
Imaging if it was your kid or parent waiting???
Absolutely pathetic that Dan prioritises funding outer road and rail loops that nobody really wants at the cost of our health.
Then who’s fault is it?
Whichever minister Dan chooses to throw under the next bus…
He was health minister August 2007 – December 2010, then premier from 2014. He's had plenty of time to be aware of the problems and act on them.
It just proves that Dan doesn't give a toss about healthcare…
He did very well on getting everyone vaccinated.
That was paid for by the federal government.
@jv: Yeah, but it was his idea. He is touted as a future PM.
Free microchip vaccines and mandatory lock-down policy for all cookers and slobbering citizens.Landslide ahead.Winner
Wrongthink. The Dictator does not stuff up.
Another glorious picture of Dear Leader!
Murdoch media told me the rest of the country is schmick. 100% have the health care system right. No shortages of personnel. Can't see why Rupert would like. Dan is the only incompetent person in Australia and everything that's wrong with this state and this country is his fault. Throws to a story of his wife driving a car near a numbskull that can't ride a bicycle. Something something Lindsay Fix slipping down the stairs. I'll need to watch Peta Credlin tonight to learn more.
Every state and territory is now ALP except Tasmania…
I'm moving to Tassie to stay with @Clear.
He has some spare e-scooters too.
60% of Australians are either what these cookers call 'Dictator Dan' country or a Labor party sworn in 500 hours ago. But I guess Labor is responsible for every cluster$$$k.
@PainToad:
It would be very popular to the majority or people who don;t watch it or listen to it. But since the most of the media are on the other side of the debate, they would of course twist the story to make it sound like it's was the work of Hitler or Satan or something…
