Senate debates Bills
Private Health Insurance Amendment Bill (No. 1) 2014; In Committee

I will help the minister. In August last year, then opposition leader Mr Abbott promised to fully restore the private health insurance rebate within a decade. The measures in this bill actually claw away from that promise and will make keeping it more difficult. Unless I am missing the logic in terms of what this bill is intended to achieve, I cannot see how the minister can deny that proposition.
