Isn't it interesting that the shadow Assistant Treasurer actually supports a co-pay? Let me just share this with the chamber:

But there's a better way of operating a health system, and the change should hardly hurt at all. As economists have shown, the ideal model involves a small co-payment - not enough to put a dent in your weekly budget, but enough to make you think twice before you call the doc. And the idea is hardly radical.

That is from your shadow Assistant Treasurer.
