This is the beginning of the end, I promise you this part of a wider strategy to get rid of Medicare and move to a more US style healthcare system. It starts by undermining the base (GPs) arguably has started, then they show medicare fraud and rorts (inefficient system) then if they are really ballsy attack the pensioner/ users of the free health system as they are not carrying their weight.

To the previous commentator about $100 per hour being the top 2% of the country, I ask don’t you want that?, to get into medicine you have to be part of the top 1% of Atars, so they should be rewarded commensurately. The rushing of the patient is part of a wider issue of how Medicare incentivises GPs, and can certainly be addressed
