It’s Medicare’s 32nd birthday and to celebrate the Turnbull Government has made major cuts to our Medicare system.
If they get their way we will have to pay for lifesaving tests like x-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds and pap smears from 1 July 2016.
Join the rally to protect Medicare and let’s send the message that these cuts are killing us.
These vital tests diagnose problems big and small. If people put them off or avoid them because of cost it could mean the difference between life and death.
Unions campaigned for a universal healthcare system to ensure that no matter who you are, you can access free quality healthcare.
Now Malcolm Turnbull, like Tony Abbott before him, is trying to take that right away and introduce an Americanised user pays health system in which profit takes precedent over people.
Join the rally to protect Medicare and today on its 32nd birthday let’s commit to maintaining a fair and free health system for everyone.
