I have student insurance valued $14000(2 years). I requested for ambulance service in a year (full family covid sickness 😷) no one could move 😭 Imagine I was not facilitated ! Hardest time to survive Why people paying huge amount for insurance. In a year you need ambulance, hire vip with doctors and nurses (max pay 500) save huge amount. GPs trapped by pharmaceutical companies and trapping public.
If I need a short term dollar from taxes I pay , 3 weeks wait . I dont like to go there cos they make it so difficult so I put it off and look for jobs recently applied for over 30 in a week at 65 yo you gotta hammer them. They take 1_2 weeks to respond a week to do inductions , medicals. Then wait for the pay cycle start date. I used to be able to walk into my local CES , check the board take a card with a job I liked present it to staff and go and get that job on the day or the next. What the hall happened. Oh yeah it got fixed.
I'd say that's just the problem with social programs by the government. No competition, so the bar is low and no real reason to improve, plus been so big its hard to manage. Maybe different small private business could be the answer with government support, but I'm not sure and probs just end up in an average monopoly. I don't know really, answer is tricky, but I'm not a supporter of big government just constantly injecting fiat currency, usually negative results occur
The money is their? Is it not? 10 min consultation is billed at $60 to medicare ( reserve bank of australia).. another example a 5 minute covid or flu shot from the GP nurse is bill to medicare at $90... the money is their to pay GP,s over $150k salaries, however many GP,s are employed by sugeries operated by investors. Same can be said about nursing and aged care. The front line staff are budgeted $60 per hour salaries by government funds.. but staff only receive half.
$150k salary would make GPs the lowest paid specialist - after 5-7 years of university, massive HECs debts, increased medical indemnity insurance, increase practice overheads, and increase rent/property costs - and a 10 minute consultation is $41.40 rebate
Hi Nathan - this is unfortunately not the case. While also contending with repaying tuition fees for completing a medical degree, entering general practice pays about $85k per year, working full-time. On average, it's about $1.6k/week. Entry level medical registrar salaries in hospital positions are about $110k per year, which tend to be better-supported and resourced. It's a very difficult choice to rationalise, particularly when there are options to work in trades that take less time to train for, and pay more. Graduates who've done the same full-time degree for 6+years as their peers are literally being asked to take a $30k/year cut, if they want to train as a GP - and that doesn't even touch on the discrepancy in fully-trained GP's versus consultant specialists, where the pay difference is nearly double.
A liberal coalition government is to blame
Yep, didnt really mention it in the vid though.
Not just them, but the "Labour Right". Bill Shorten is part of them
We’ll push the government into substantial action together

Albo first promise was 10% pay rise to all blue collar workers . Or was he only joking. Cos hes forgotten it.
It's ok I already couldn't afford healthcare due to my conditions not being covered by medicare
Ergophobia 😐
This was what set Australia apart from the rest of the world. We were the lucky country, and now we are a joke. Terrible government
Australias turning into the WEF poster child
TWO MEDICAL MISDIAGNOSES AND GIVEN A DISEASE 🦠 THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN WE THE PATIENT HAVE NO RIGHTS
NOTHINGS FREE
