4 out of 5 health economists want universal bulk-billing
One health economist — Professor Yuting Zhang — said a "price signal" of a general $20-$30 gap fee should remain in place.
Four health economists have told the government to push for universal GP bulk-billing, as statistics that 20% of practices bulk-bill all patients continue to dominate the media.
The academics have stressed that it would mean the Federal Government upping health funding hugely — rather than GPs moving to bulk-billing in Medicare’s current state.
