Bin Chicken 🗑𓅠<p>GP visits to become free for most under $8.5b 'legacy defining' Labor Medicare promise<br><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-22/labor-medicare-promise-to-make-gp-visits-free-for-most/104969694" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-02-22/lab</span><span class="invisible">or-medicare-promise-to-make-gp-visits-free-for-most/104969694</span></a></p><p>Anthony Albanese says he'll make 90% of GP visits free from out-of-pocket expenses by 2030. This is a bargain for the government with a price-tag of only $8.5 billion. It's also a strong, traditional Labor policy for social services.</p><p>I'd like to think this is a sign that Albo is getting back to his roots, and announcing policies that will get the approval of the Greens and other left-leaning parties. It's also laying the groundwork for another "Mediscare" campaign in anticipation of Peter Dutton's toxic bullshit.</p><p>Boosting funding for bulk-billing will have massive flow-on effects for the general wellbeing of Australians: quality of life, ability to function in school and at work, and therefore a long-term payback for the economy. Anyone arguing against this policy has a deep-seated ideological hatred for "poor people" and knows nothing about the economy — I'm looking at you, Peter Dutton.</p><p>Details I'd like to hear more about:<br>- Mental health care funding got a boost, so it's good to see the government taking this neglected area more seriously. <br>- Dental health care was not mentioned, and it absolutely needs to be covered by Medicare. Teeth are a vital part of your body that require life-long care and shouldn't be at the mercy of private health insurance.<br>- GPs got screwed by Scott Morrison when he made a bunch of massive cuts to Medicare. The government will need to coordinate with GPs to make sure they get fair compensation for their work.<br>- Peter Dutton having a sook, and rolling-out that tired old lie about Labor being wasteful with money.</p><p><a href="https://rants.au/tags/AusPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusPol</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/AnthonyAlbanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnthonyAlbanese</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Albo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Albo</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Medicare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Medicare</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/ScottMorrison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScottMorrison</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/ScottyFromMarketing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScottyFromMarketing</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/Mediscare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mediscare</span></a> <a href="https://rants.au/tags/PeterDutton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeterDutton</span></a></p>
