Health Organisations dissapointed at Co-payment

Today the government has underlined its intent to introduce a seven dollar co-payment to see a doctor. The Australian medical Association disagrees with the plan and has presented its own counter-proposal today. Other health and welfare associations have been disappointed in their lack of consultation by the government and feel their input has been severely undervalued.
