@drvyom I suspect a few women might be cancelling surgery this week.

Amelia Hamer might have lost the support of actual renters, but at least she's got this guy's vote.

Thanks for sharing @APodA_National. More info @PHA_Healthcare’s website: pha.org.au and via @hicapsau from September 1.

After several years of collaboration between @PHA_Healthcare, various private health funds, podiatrists, and the APodA, the current billing schedule has been revised and will come into effect on 1 September. Details here – bit.ly/3WAmolV #podiatry

There is no evidence that Australians with health insurance are getting less for their membership or facing barriers to private health services right now. Health fund payments for hospital treatment surged 9.7% in the year to March 2024. More via @APRAinfo

@mbismark @GMHBA @JanaPittman Oh wow, I was there too Marie but didn’t realise you were there! Jana’s speech was excellent. It’s really got me thinking about all the things I could do if I drop the fear 💪🏼

I have just had specialist treatment in a public hospital. Most of the medical staff were immigrants. Standard of care exemplary. We benefit hugely from immigration. Playing politics with immigration and multiculturalism is evil. We are fortunate to be a multicultural country.

Vulnerable Australians are being coerced by unscrupulous providers into accessing their superannuation to pay for medical procedures. This practice is driving health inflation, out of pocket costs and draining retirement savings. More via @FinancialReview afr.com/policy/tax-and…

From @RachelDavid99 @PHA_Healthcare I agree with a lot of this: Let’s get real about what’s ailing private hospitals healthdispatch.com.au/news/dr-rachel…

When you’re offered a medical test, it’s worth asking the five “choosing wisely” questions: Do I really need this test? What are the risks? Are there simpler, safer options? What happens if I don’t do anything? And what are the costs?  @henriettacook theage.com.au/national/victo…

Seems that where you live can determine how much you pay for elective surgery. Huge problem for the ACT and something I’m keen to see cleaned up. How much have you paid for elective surgery here in the ACT or elsewhere? Let me know in the comments below👇

@rwillingham What a story!

So John Pesutto wants an independent inquiry into the Colac Health 'fake' patients claim, but local Lib MP Richard Riordan said demonstrating the stresses a local hospital is under has validity. "Does a minister launch a new train station without a train there?"

Good result. @DrSteveRobson is a terrific human being.
