It is ironic that the average working Registered Nurse working in a private hospital can not afford private health insurance to receive care that is provided by that nurse. Healthcare services need to be accessible by everyone even if it means increased taxes for that purpose. The healthcare system must be forward moving only.

Less. Public health is all our problem. Privatisation = profit for a select few

 @Glenmarfrom Western Australia answered…3yrs3Y

Absolutely not or we will end up like the USA where people's health will be dependent upon if they have insurance or not. The medicare system as it is has been working so why change it.

 @935CG4PLiberal Democrat answered…3mos3MO

Less, reduce privatisation of hospitals but increase privatisation of health care services like specialist

 @9HCXTZWanswered…4mos4MO

Provide more government funding to the industry, while allowing certain healthcare services to keep their private status.

 @934L28Sanswered…2yrs2Y

I am a small business working under the ndis. We need to keep these programs and put money into disability and rather ensure these businesses have some understanding of health and structures in place.

 @9342HTRanswered…2yrs2Y

People paying private insurance shouldn't have such high out of pocket expenses too. Some of this should be payed by the government as well.

 @933V4P7answered…2yrs2Y

Hospitals should work side-by-side with existing non-medical health care systems, just as they do in other countries like India & China. Funding should go to all systems equally with equipment shared. The outcome should be to maximise positive health outcomes instead of the current system of hooking up patients to progressively more expensive drugs/treatments, increasing long-term suffering unnecessarily & ending their life prematurely. The whole money-engineering mentality must change.

 @9338CF4Liberalanswered…2yrs2Y

I am happy with the balance of public and private health ownership but strongly support more funding for public with some form of fee to discourage trivial and unjustified call on emergency services.

 @932FMT5answered…2yrs2Y

I oppose the Levy. It’s up to the individual if you feel as if you are healthy and fit why should have private health

 @92XGD9Panswered…2yrs2Y

More, and provide more government funding/prioritise public hospitals

 @92WGD9Zanswered…2yrs2Y

I think somewhere in the middle of all. If people have money for better health care,then let them have it..If people don't have enough money they should get help from normal health care.But if the person is really sick and in death an life situation,i think there should be ways to have private health care

 @92WBMT3answered…2yrs2Y

Private Health Insurance should cover all procedures in all hospitals with no out of pocket cost

 @92SRJCKanswered…2yrs2Y

Less, and there should be no privatization of the healthcare industry- However external management should be applied

 @92SPHG9answered…2yrs2Y

the whole health system is over-worked and underfunded. Until a more supportive health system exists (for patients and staff alike) the argument of privatisation is irrelevant. However, more public specialist services would definitely be an asset in many communities.

 @92SGJBTanswered…2yrs2Y

Unavoidable conditions at not fault of your own should receive some government funding. For example Type 1 diabetes.

 @92Q8XVJLiberalanswered…2yrs2Y

Silly how working people have to pay so much for doctors when they need it more especially for work while people on Centrelink stuck on job seeker get to go for free especially with people sitting at home and don't need to really go to the doctors for work.

 @92LCT92answered…2yrs2Y

you cannot have more public healthcare in an already buckling system. However, the current private insurance fees are not feasible for most families.

As long as there is a strong public subsidised core for health it’s imperative all gave access to solid health support

 @92FTSY7answered…2yrs2Y

Hospitals eed to b accountable not exploiting use of onus of proof legislation to make workers pay for work injuries. Blackwood vs Toward precedent is unscientific but used to have workers fund work injuries. Radiological term used to dismiss work post traumatic arthritis as personal. Injuries dismissed as perso al a ovoid risk mitigation & increase maiming

 @92DKHTJLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

More, and end government subsidies & More, and privatize the entire healthcare industry.

 @926Q2NWanswered…2yrs2Y

Nothing wrong with public and private healthcare just make it more accessible

 @8ZQ2WWTLaboranswered…2yrs2Y

there should be more funding for all health services for people on lower- middle incomes and higher income earners should be incentivised to take out private insurance to decrease burden on public health

 @8TCBN7DLaboranswered…3yrs3Y

I am satisfied with the current system but believe there should be more money put into public healthcare.

 @8T8N9GVanswered…3yrs3Y

with benifts and disasters of both privatisation or government funding I would say a complete redo of the system is in order.

 @8RT4N83Laboranswered…3yrs3Y

keep the same amount of privatisation but increase government funding

 @8RJV8JHanswered…3yrs3Y

They should be able to co exist together while providing the same medical care with the difference being nicer rooms and potentially quicker service for non emergencies at private hospitals

 @8RFK4BGanswered…3yrs3Y

Remain with number privatised, however stricter government guidelines and inspectots should be present.

 @8RDVXPKanswered…3yrs3Y

Everyone who has a job have private health as happened until this free health came in. It was terrible in Qld in the 60s. But great in WA where everyone contributed

 @8RD4KZ7answered…3yrs3Y

I think that if people who are paying for private health need to actually be fully covered or more covered than what they currently are.
People you aren’t paying anything are fully covered and to me that just doesn’t make sense.
It’s us the tax payers that pay for both our own health insurance and also public patients.
Yet we are still having to pay extra on top of our health insurance plus tax.
We just need a little more cover

 @8RCVNJ2answered…3yrs3Y

I am satisfied with the current system except for private being too expensive

 @8RCSZ6Nanswered…3yrs3Y

I think there should definitely be more government funding specifically for those within a lower economic status, however, if people wish to choose private hospitals and healthcare services there should be a range of options available also.

 @8R6B7N9answered…3yrs3Y

Less, Dentistry should be subsidised as a necessary part of the healthcare system
