Under Labor's $8.5 billion health reform, GPs will receive increased payments for bulk-billing all adult patients, reducing out-of-pocket costs for individuals and families. This move aims to improve access to medical care, particularly for those in middle Australia. With a focus on preventive care and healthcare accessibility, this initiative is set to benefit millions of Australians. Key terms: health reform, bulk-billing, affordable healthcare
