PETER DUTTON'S RECORD OF FAILURE AS HEALTH MINISTER
"The Government will achieve savings of $3.5 billion over five years by reducing Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) rebates... The measure will also remove the restriction on State and Territory Governments from charging patients presenting to hospital emergency departments for general practitioner like attendances..."
"In this Budget the Government is adopting sensible indexation arrangements for schools from 2018, and hospitals from 2017-18, and removing funding guarantees for public hospitals. These measures will achieve cumulative savings of over $80 billion by 2024-25."
"'The 2014 budget document shows the approach of the Leader of the Opposition ... he cut $50 billion dollars in his first budget ... in funding cuts from the state hospital system ... this is the same budget he wanted to abolish bulk-billing altogether,' Mr Butler said during Question Time on Thursday"
"Patients will face a $45 gap fee to see a doctor within three years and there is nothing the Senate can do to stop it. Health Minister Peter Dutton has found a way of bypassing the parliament to implement one of the biggest of his planned cuts to Medicare."
"The Coalition has asked the Senate to tear up changes allowing patients to buy two months of medicine for the price of one unless Labor pauses the policy and blunts the impact on pharmacies."
PETER DUTTON CAN'T BE TRUSTED WITH MEDICARE AND HOSPITALS.

IF PETER DUTTON WINS THE NEXT ELECTION, YOU WILL BE WORSE OFF.
