The case for putting dental in Medicare + Headlines
Manage episode 438385173 series 2664539
This week the Parliamentary Budget Office released costings for a Greens plan to add dental to Medicare.
On the face of it, the fact that a major branch of healthcare is just not a part of the public health system might be surprising to many. But adding it now, according to the costings, would mean billions of dollars in new government spending – and the Australian Dental Association says we just don’t have the number of dentists required to do it.
So how would it cope if we added a whole new category of medicine? Jordan Steele-John is the Greens Senator for Western Australia – he joins Bension Siebert on this episode of The Briefing to make the case for dental to join Medicare.
Headlines:
Paralympics update
Federal government to announce domestic violence package
Donald Trump pleads not guilty to revised federal charges
Maori queen anointed
