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

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.

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.

If there were to be more privatisation then Private Health cover would need to cover the costs and payments for private health cover should be fully tax deductable, like it used to be.

Less, but there should be individual insurance options for individuals who, of their own volition, take up activities known to cause harm to the body, the taxpayer should not fund the mistaken choices of well-educated individuals.

There should be far less to no privatisations of medical services. As its mostly not affordable for most people which includes absurd prices for vital medication for conditions. At the same time I think the government would benefit from giving medical staff more funding for wages and vital services. As if the average Joe can afford to get medical treatment they can potentially work for longer into their twilight years and may have an overall higher mental stability. I am also including psychology/therapy, physio, dietitians, dentists, diagnosis for things such as disabilities and so on. They are needed to maintain our overall wellbeing, knowing how we tick and if we cannot afford to fix ourselves then inevitably there will be a shrinking workforce, more burden on welfare systems, the economy and the aging population that can no longer work.

Current system is fine, but public health is in dire need of support at the state and federal levels and needs to be addressed.

Less privatisation; maintain a balance between both private and healthcare services; increase funding for public healthcare and hospital services.
