One GP has been so determined to continue bulk-billing that she decided to buy a practice so she could offer free healthcare to all her patients. 

Dr Homayera Noor took over the reins of a Wollongong clinic in NSW in late September, providing no-gap appointments to anyone who walks through the doors.
