"Mr Dutton questioned why those on higher incomes should be able to go to the doctor ''for free'' and said it was ''one of the discussions . . . we have to have''.But doctors have warned that the fee would lead more patients to seek treatment in overcrowded emergency departments including those with conditions that had deteriorated because of deferred care."
Dutton stupidly questions why those on higher incomes should be able to go to the doctor ''for free''. Doesnt the dope realise its not for free. That Middle Australia and all that earn a reasonable income pay a big fat medicare levy from which the doctor gets paid. Its not for free.
I despair the poor level of representation we have in the important health portfolio.
