We're about to hear the outcome of Mark Butler’s “unleashing the power of the medical workforce”review & I expect it will come out saying that any health professional who thinks they’re good enough can pop up their shingle & be a GP substitute. It’s happening already. Is this OK?

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

My heart goes out to many people, especially one young policewoman. I hope she’s ok. #bondi #westfield #tragedy.

What a goose: bankrupted by a policy that hasn’t come it yet!?! 🤣🤣🤣

Sorry pharmacists, but cry me a freaking river. You think you’ll have it tough??? Because the gov has streamlined things for the PATIENT?!? Come over to general practice…. #medicare #sicktax #auspol @RACGPPresident @RACGP @amapresident

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

Dr Nick - this is the single biggest threat to general practice & affordable patient care. NSW political parties were completely silent leading up to the election - cowards. It’s guaranteed my practices will increase fees by $15+ immediately. @RACGPPresident @RACGP #sicktax

[Dr. Nick Coatsworth @nick_coatsworth]

Strongly agree with @amapresident It's hard to see this as anything other than a play by States and Territories to cost shift Medicare money into their treasuries. It will make primary care more expensive and erode any benefit from rebate increases. It's a tax on patients.

@michaelbonning do you have any comment or advice please???

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

Over to you @racgp @RACGPPresident @amapresident : who do we vote for? Both the @NSWLabor & @nswliberalhq have been silent on this issue. It’s as if they don’t care…

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

Woo hoo @ChrisMinnsMP : but what are you & the @NSWLabor going to do about the #sicktax? The impending #payrolltax debacle will decimate #generalpractice and put even more pressure on the public hospitals. #whogetsmyvote?@RACGP @RACGPPresident @amapresident #auspol

@pruecar any thoughts???

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

Say no to the #sicktax. Still waiting to hear from @NSWLabor @nswliberalhq about their stance on #payrolltax for GPs. Their silence is telling: THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU AS A PATIENT. they don’t care about how much it costs you.

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

Our health system is in crisis and we need action. As @savannahmeacham reports - more and more practices are walking away from bulk billing. The solution lies in boosting investment in general practice care so that no patients are left behind. #Medicare https://t.co/zUWiEBZ8mf

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

Hey @NSWLabor @nswliberalhq @timothycjames STILL WAITING!?!?!!! @RACGPPresident @RACGP @amapresident any advice on how to get answers from the “powers that be”???

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

The situation is growing desperate. Governments must act now to stop this new Sick Tax in its tracks. Otherwise, practices will have little choice but to charge patients more or shut up shop for good. #SickTax

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

Ping @timothycjames: I’d love your thoughts on this one as my local member.

[Dr Sam @DrSamHay]

So @NSWLabor @nswliberalhq what are you going to do? Big election coming up: who gets my vote? This issue needs an immediate solution. If you don’t YOU ATE INCREASING PATIENT COSTS. #AUSPOL

[Royal Australian College of GPs (RACGP) President @RACGPPresident]

The Sick Tax will cripple general practice care. As @RACGP Mid North NSW Coast GP Dr Deb King told @JonesAlexandraR and Luisa Rubbo - smaller practices will be hit hardest, meaning regional and rural areas already starved of doctors will suffer the most. https://t.co/83BrXe6oPC

*ARE (don’t you hate it when you SHOUT to make a point but f@ck it up 🤦🏻‍♂️)
[they are also welcome to eat the extra patient costs]
