Albanese government to scrap Howard-era private health bonus for older Australians
The Albanese government will eliminate the private health rebate for Australians over 65, Health Minister Mark Butler announced on Wednesday. The move aims to promote fairness for younger Australians and is expected to affect around 60,000 seniors' health insurance coverage. The savings will help fund $4 billion in additional aged care spending, including 5,000 new aged care beds annually.
