Reported at johnmenadue.com: The current Australian healthcare system faces significant inequities and inefficiencies that require a bold restructuring, ideally moving towards a single funder model.

Despite some government initiatives, such as funding community-based acute care centres and incentives for bulk billing, these measures do not adequately address the root problems, such as the lack of post-hospital care facilities and long waiting lists.

There is a call for political courage to explore comprehensive healthcare reform, which is necessary to provide timely and equitable care for all Australians.
