YES! Bulk-billing hits 81.4% nationwide – biggest quarterly jump in 20+ years thanks to Labor's $multi-billion Medicare boost. More than 3,400 fully bulk-billing clinics now, biggest gains in regional & working-class areas. This is what fighting for universal healthcare looks like! Keep the pressure on – push toward 90%+ by 2030 and deeper fixes for chronic care equity. No one skips the doc because of cost. More of this, please!

Classic LNP move: privatise essential services like the Northern Beaches Hospital, watch it fail spectacularly under Healthscope, then Labour steps in to buy it back into public hands for $190m. Ending a decade of failed privatisation experiment. Public health belongs in public hands!
