Yes people will whinge if the levy goes up but I’d be more than happy to pay it to get beds and services available going forward.
So they quadruple the levy next week (and in the process sign their political death warrant and you reckon the incoming will keep to that policy? ), when do you think those beds come on line?
So you are saying this really is about politics and nothing else here?

No, but to think upping the Medicare levy one week makes hospital beds appear the next week is somewhat naive, isn't it?
In 18 months you can't train doctors, nurses, buy equipment, make bed spaces, develop all the infrastructure ( food, linen etc ) to the point where hundreds of beds come on line.
Our system is good, but far from perfect, but to realistically increase health capacity takes years and billions.

If every Australian paid $100 that's only enough to build 1 hospital ( Fiona Stanley in Perth, nRAH here ) and that takes around 4 years from design to completion.
TQEH footprint couldn't be expanded, Lyell Mc was already tendered and a new ED getting built around 8 years after the last development, Flinders ED was already out to tender, this shit doesn't happen over night and in health terms 18 months is a mere blink of the eye.
Look at the testing clinics they've created, the contact tracing teams and infrastructure, so, so much has been done to help control this pandemic but to simply go "Here's more money make more beds" is so short sighted.

It’s a good plan too.
6 months late though based on the rest of the world.

The Apache is still around [emoji38]
I did say in a post some time back that this September cases will go up and there will be more deaths just like in any Flu season sometimes the deaths are in the hundreds and sometimes in the thousands depending on the virulency of the Flu strain.
The sad thing about it all is the C.O.C is still alive and doing very well the Cult Of Covid.
Any way i am still heartened by one stat 99% plus survival rate if you get Delta in Australia pretty good odds hey.
Any way to finish off hows this for logic.
CNN reporter interviewing an Amish elder, the interview went like this; CNN reporter; we've noticed that the Covid virus doesn't affect the Amish colonies the same as the rest of the world ! Can you explain this phenomenon ? We don't have televisions.
Bang Bang Baa Baa Baa
