WE MIGHT not know when the Election is going to be, but it hasn’t prevented the Albanese Labor Government from stooping to negativity and deceit already.
We’re seeing ‘Mediscare’ 2.0. The LNP is ‘coming for Medicare’ they claim.
This despite… the Coalition having already announced significant investment in women’s health, mental health support and $400 million to strengthen our pipeline of home-made GPs.
This despite… Department of Health data showing bulk-billing has collapsed since Labor came into government.
Those opposite never let facts get in the way of a good scare campaign.
Out-of-pocket consult costs for patients in Forde have shot up in the last three-years.
That’s not me saying that – that’s from a new report by respected healthcare company Cleanbill.
“It is more difficult for a regular adult to find a bulk billing or low out-of-pocket cost GP in these electorates – Forde, Rankin and Wright – today, than it was two years ago,” Cleanbill CEO James Gillespie said in recent weeks.
“Significant declines,” he said.
People who are already struggling under Labor’s cost-of-living crisis are now facing sky-rocketing healthcare costs as well.
Bulk-billing rates in Forde have plummeted from 97.1% in 2020 when we were in power – to 84.3% in 2023 under Labor.
Three-years-ago people were promised life would be cheaper under Labor. We now know that was a complete fallacy.
It is only the LNP who will get Forde and Australia Back on Track.
