Australian healthcare as we know it is under threat – NIB (under the Honeysuckle group) has made a submission to the ACCC to be allowed to run US-style managed health care.
Here’s an experience from a doctor who used to practice in the US https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/9ea112d0-6ca6-4c43-ac26-453c6b5ea0a1/2021-0607-brown-final-mix.mp3
This change will be detrimental to the Australian Health Care System especially when we now have one of the best healthcare systems in the world and to current and future residents of Australia
We, as Australians need to show our opposition to this for the right to make the right evidence based care for our patients, not at the hands of “for profit health funds”.
Please show your opposition to the NIB submission by individually submitting an email to your Local Federal Member Representative and consider copying your letter to The Hon Greg Hunt Minister for Health & Aged Care about this as well on Minister.Hunt@health.gov.au
