Not Right

I don’t mind sounding like a broken record when referring to this pamphlet I found in the Medicare office.  Emblazoned on the cover was “Have a Medicare card – it’s you’re right”.

Please government stop peddling this message.  This is what has led to the demise of the health system.  It’s having people think of health services as rights instead of privileges.  It’s the lack of respect for health services that leads to the endless demands from the masses for government to ‘fix it’. 

Government will never be able to fix anything until there is a collective attitude adjustment, and it starts with how we regard our public services.

Continue to view them as a right then enjoy a health system that will continue to decline.  Adjust the attitude and regard health services as the huge privilege it is and you will see an improvement.

It’s up to you, not the government.
