    Healthscope's latest move may change private health insurance soon

    This has been brewing for a long time. And we have politicians to thank for selling our new hospitals, which should have been public, to foreign providers (Brookfield/Healthscope) for $1 to operate as part private, part public.

    This is what we can look forward to, and the danger of the future . The gobernments are all gung-ho with building and letting developers get away with murder but have they amended laws about developers, certifiers, phoenixing, penalties, guarantees, insurance to cover, the diabolical strata...

    Hate it. These wretched chat lines are useless. I've never once had a satisfactory/correct answer from these systems. Any bank that replaces humans with technology will lose my business.
