The fact is the Labor Party is not trying. They're carping, negative, opportunistic and offer nothing whatsoever for the private health sector. They will be condemned for that. Regardless of how many people insure privately one of the main problems for public hospitals, is it not, is the number of people who have private insurance already but still use public hospitals without declaring their private fund membership. It's not designed to.
People have choice, people have the right to do that.
In States like South Australia and Victoria where the medical profession, doctors and funds are addressing the issue of the gap, you'll find that will make it more likely people will use the private health care system. People are allowed to use public hospitals. We're not trying to discourage that, never have. It's a bit like someone who joins a club and never uses it. It's wonderful for the other club members.
