Todays decision on Medicare saw 1 of the 3 proposed changes to Medicare scrapped; 2 remain: The second proposed aspect of the policy, which still stands, is that, as of July 2015, the Medicare benefit for all GP services provided to non-concessional patients will be reduced by A$5. While this reduction is smaller than the A$20 cut that was to be introduced in January, it applies to a much larger set of consultations so has the potential for a much bigger impact on GP activity (and population health). Finally, all Medicare rebates are to be frozen for a two-year period until July 2018. theconversation/autopsy-of-a-dead-policy-government-shelves-impending-medicare-change-36295
