We all need more affordable health care !
Especially prevention which requires access to gp appointments. Cost is a significant barrier to many Australians ⬇️
Want real cost of living relief? Ask your MP what they're doing to raise your Medicare rebate.
I need to emphasise: It's YOUR Medicare rebate, the $42.85 you get back from your GP, and which also funds bulk billing.
That blue wedge is your gap payment (graph: @ama_media) 1/🧵

Great opportunity to present on behalf of the @amsmenopause as the peak body for menopause at the senate inquiry into menopause
Dr Marita Long from Australasian Menopause Society says menopause is more than just symptoms, it’s a transition point. There’s not a college of medicine that shouldn’t be touching on menopause. Gov should be auditing training programs to ensure menopause education is covered.
