On the Today Show this morning the Minister for Health, Disability and Ageing, Mark Butler, conceded that some Australians will need more than their Medicare card, stating, 'We never said that there would be 100 per cent bulk-billing.' This is at direct odds to what the Prime Minister's statement was: 'One card covers it all. Not your credit card—your Medicare card.' Who is correct, the Prime Minister or the minister?
