How is health funded in Australia?
Historically the States fund our Public Hospital system whereas the Federal Government funds Medicare.
Medicare is a patient insurance scheme that was designed in the 1970’s to help reduce the out of pocket costs to see your family doctor.
The Medicare rebate was never intended to fully cover the costs of providing medical services – it was a payment made to a patient after they had seen a doctor; to help cover some of the cost. “Bulk Billing” is when your doctor accepts your medicare rebate as a full payment of services rendered. But this was not what it was originally designed for.
Over time and with increasing complexity of medicine, medical treatments and rising practice costs – the medicare rebate has become grossly inadequate when compared to rising inflation.
Australia has actually never had a fully funded health system at the primary care level.
