Thank you, President, although I got very much a nonanswer on my question as to when it was going to come down to zero dollars. Cheryl from The Entrance North in New South Wales has told us: 'My GP charges $120 for a 15-minute consultation. I receive a $43.90 Medicare rebate and out-of-pocket costs of $76.10. I'm on the aged pension. I can't afford this, so my health is failing.' (Time expired)
