The Future of bulk billing, due to the hidden details in the federal Budget is in doubt with the reason being that this incumbent federal government has frozen the amount of money that is being paid to doctors and specialists for the next two years.
As a result of this deliberate sabotaging of the bulk billing system the medical profession will be forced, through no fault of their own, to add a charge to the cost of a visit to all pensioners and invalid pensioners and returned service men/women.
Maybe you pensioners should start looking at the local member that you vote for, start by asking questions like, “ How do you justify changes to our Medical System without getting public approval.”
