Ok lets present a pensioner in an ad saying his doctor of
20 years has just conveyed he has no option but to charge
the pensioner $20 extra for each visit. The pensioner
will also have to pay the full consult fee up front before
being able to get back the medicare rebate less $20.
There is no bulking doctor in the area.
The pensioner has a chronic condition requiring
frequent treatment.
The pensioner says they had to hold off going to the doctor
until their pension went into their bank account.
The pensioner says whats the point of having paid
medicare all one’s working life if they have to face
the above circumstances. The doctor says the rebate
is already grossly inadequate and there is now a six
year freeze on the rebate.
The pensioner asks why is the govt undermining medicare.
Van, which ad do you reckon will be most successful
the one you suggested or the one I have.

Good one eagle, i broke my arm in 1971 no Medicare in those days my pay was $ 15 a week back then i had no private health cover the local GP told me to go home ask my parent's for $ 25 dollars before he can put my arm in plaster. We can all thank the ALP for Medicare.
