‘Money before lives’: AMA slams $15 co-payment THE Commission of Audit’s report proposing a mandatory upfront fee of $15 for medical services has been rejected by the Australian Medical Association as policy that would put saving money ahead of saving lives, while hitting GPs with extra costs. “It is clear the commission’s recommendations have been put forward by business leaders and bureaucrats with no input from people with health and medical expertise, AMA president Steve Hambleton said. “It is a health system designed by bean counters for bean counters. It puts saving money ahead of saving lives.” Medical Observer 2 May 2014
