We can't overnight fix the problems that your government caused after nine years of neglect of Medicare. But we are starting the process of rebuilding the Medicare system, in particular the bulk-billing system. I reject the implication in your question that ordinary Australians are not benefitting by these changes because the reality is that ordinary Australians will benefit by what we are doing.
