I would like to see a system of meritocracy in place here rather than automatic free funding for doctors, physios, osteopaths and acupuncturists.

A qualification in a particular field in no way implies you are going to deliver good health outcomes.

I would like to see practitioners getting good health outcomes get funding.....but hang on ......that might make them lazy.......yet I know alot of people needing treatments are missing out because of money.

So I would rather just see a health coupon given to the patient who has had an accident.

That way if I have an injury, I can go to a practitioner who works with a thorough physical therapy and proven pain and injury technologies and nutrients.
