AMA president Danielle McMullen and older Australians warn the change will shift costs to public hospitals and force seniors to forgo GP and specialist care.
Budget measure announced
Government announces Australians over 65 will lose special treatment on health insurance rebates, projected to save $3 billion over four years.
Australia's plan to remove the over-65s health insurance rebate loading is projected to save $3 billion over four years, but the AMA warns it could shift costs onto already-strained public hospitals. Modelling diverges sharply on how many seniors will drop cover — 44,000 under government estimates versus 12,000 from University of Melbourne researchers. Older Australians who feel duty-bound to keep insurance may instead forgo GP visits and specialist care, raising longer-term health risks.
