Great...having a baby in November (1st child) and Gillard and Roxon have just made my day!!!!
Obviously, trying to get rid of the private health system.
More pressure put back on Public Health....why the hell bother anymore with private health????
The Robin Hood/Como way of thinking by the Labour Govenment is starting already.

Exactly in my experience doctors are always booked out and sometimes you have to make an appointment weeks in advance. A doctor I know double books as well. They make a killing. These are at practices that do bulk billing, one of the biggest problems is so many people expecting to be bulk billed who can afford it.
