Just read an article saying "You may not be able to afford to get sick: Lobby group predicts that Medicare shift will mean $100 doctor visits by 2016"
Let me play devil's advocate here and use my intellect to argue the other way. (Intrinsic Value, Fence, D.T, Hoffy, Rolf and others are gonna love me for what I'm about to say
)
We property owners want our PPORs and IPs to go up and up in capital value and want the market to pay as much as they can afford for our properties, right?
Whatever the market can stomach, the higher the price the better.
In that way, we act like small businesses pimping our properties to the highest bidders/renters, renovating it to achieve as much capital gain as possible in the shortest possible time.
Properties in blue-chip suburbs in Melbourne and Sydney are much sought after and unaffordable
Why should health care which is much sought after 'be affordable'?
Why shouldn't GPs who are small businesses charge as much as the market will bear? $100, $200 per visit for the simplest or the most complex of reasons - cough, cold, prescription renewal, cancer, stroke, who cares?
Charge as much as the market will bear!
The inefficient GPs who depend on govt subsidies (medicare rebates) should go bust. They're like our inefficient car manufacturers, right?
Let the free market reign. No subsidies, no rebates. User pays.
No government intervention, no regulation.
There is no right or wrong in the market. It just is.
