Hear! Great article! Why should those on very low incomes subsidise Malcolm Turnbull's private health insurance premiums. I understand, the last time this was muted, memberships didn't fall, in fact they increased. I'm sick of the conservatives attitude to middle and upper income welfare. They can afford to pay their own way. When it's considered how they participated in dragging down peoples' wages, their attitude is reprehensible. They disgust me! Hear! Hear! Great article!

Thanks. As billions of tax dollars go to this woeful scheme, that is money not being spent on public hospitals. It hinders reform and improvement in the public heath care system and continues to increase the divide between the rich and the poor. Hopefully reform will come after the next federal election and the conservative hold of the Senate is finally lost. Great article. Thanks.
