"said the pie man to simple simon, eagle from HC just said it was all the LNP's fault, and I now wonder who the simple simon really is."
Seems to me it might be Health Minister Dutton and possibly dan1 lol.
"Health Minister Peter Dutton has also signalled that Medicare could be means-tested with access to bulk-billing and medical tests such as X-rays, blood tests limited to those on lower incomes, in a News Corp report."
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''.
I repeat Mr Dutton its not "free". They pay a big fat medicare care levy that permits doctors to be paid. Its not free.
