Imagine: your private medical data in the hands of for-profit corporations.
A radical privatisation plan for Medicare hit headlines this week, tipped to be a major feature of the Turnbull government's first budget.
The leaked proposal would hand $50 billion in public health services over to corporate interests – taking us down the path of US-style user-pays health care.
Call on the Turnbull government to put public health over private profit: getup.org.au/medicare
wake up, .. government IS a private for profit corporation. There is no
such thing as gooberment, there is only private corporations and banksters.
That crown you see on everything is the Crown Corporation of the City of
London, operating in right of her vagisty queer Elizabeth ll. They are
plundering pirates. We need to build a new system.
I would much rather slashing the ABC and non-pension related welfare to the
bone.
….this is a deal breaker for me. If you support privatizing health care.
You will not be getting my vote.
if GetUp and Labor keep on claiming that the Turnbull Government are going
to privatize Medicare why dont they provide proof? at the moment i see it
as fear mongering just to get the voters to vote for Labor.
It’s in the TPP, that all Government monopolies must end! But no one seemed
to care, so I guess we shall have to embrace corporate fascism and there
global governance.
+MrKingmino What article is that in? I just re-skimmed through article 17
on state owned enterprises and designated monopolies and it wasn’t in
there, it was actually encouraging many forms of government monopolies.
What section was it in where it banned government intervention in defence,
law and order, communications, road and transport and education?
This is AUSTRALIA, Turnbull – NOT America. We WILL keep Medicare from being
privatised. The decision is OURS not yours, nor your corporate mates. BACK
OFF!! If you don’t, you will suffer the consequences. Rise up people, this
simply can not and will not, be allowed to happen.
This is not going to fly.
What a joke. If Malcolm Turnbull privatises Medicare I’ll eat my left
testicle. Getup – please focus on topics that are legitimate, this is an
embarrassing waste of time. It aint ever gonna happen.
