A UNIVERSAL HEALTH SYSTEM: DO WE HAVE ONE?
Join our on-line Forum: 11:00am-12.30pm AEDT, Wednesday 13 April.
Australians value our ‘universal’ health system. It would be even better if everyone could access it.
It’s the pointy end of the Federal Election cycle and we’re up to our necks in Budget talk. There’s lots of talk about health, as there should be.
We’ll hear promises about protecting Medicare and everyone’s plan will be better for public hospitals. But do the existing, albeit crucial, monoliths of our health system, guarantee access to the care people need when and where they need it?
