Abbott’s real agenda: divide australia
Melbourne Rally To Discuss Abbott’s Real Agenda
Divide Australia
31st August 2014
At 1pm Sunday 31 August I will be addressing a rally at the State Library in Melbourne to discuss the real agenda of the Abbott Government’s budget proposals and other policies in health care.
The intention is clear. Bulk billing should be stopped. The sick should have to pay out of pocket (as well as paying taxes for the health system to exist). Private health insurance should be allowed to two tier access to GPs by being permitted to cover copayments for their members (whilst those who can’t afford PHI have to pay. Medicare should be just a safety net (rather than a public health insurance system which gives most people the chance to access timely quality health care)
This agenda is about dividing Mr Abbott’s team A into Team R for the rich, Team P for the poor, and Team S for the middle class who may be ok if they don’t get a chronic disease or an acute severe illness, but may face mortgages and bankruptcy if they are unlucky. This is about moving towards a US style health system just as the US is trying to move away from it.
