We can afford to include universal dental in Medicare.
Overhaul franking credit imputation credits.
It doesn’t have to be a kick in the teeth to self-funded retirees.
Just grandfather existing conditions.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

Dutton and LNP will start to dismantle Medicare. They always wanted American style health care and we all know what's that's like. We must never allow Medicare to be eroded. Our system is the envy of many countries.

Dutton wants to see this work undone + a return to the bad old days of Abbott/Morrison inaction
His plan is more delay, denial and dysfunction. And it’s Australians who will pay the price.
