The out-of-pocket cost of seeing a specialist is out of control in this country.
If re-elected this year, I’ll be working on ways to increase transparency around the cost of care, and to improve accessibility and affordability of medical, dental, and mental heath care in Australia.

A key insight that needs to drive change is that people don't want to see a doctor, no matter how good the doc is.
The health system should put max funds into keeping people mentally and physically healthy ie: preventative medicine.
Not sure it's set up this way.
Try $400 for initial appointment with a physician as part of pre-op workup
Anaesthetist $2000
Surgeon $1500
