You raise an important point about the need for comprehensive reforms in the Medicare system. While the increase in bulk billing is definitely a positive step toward making healthcare more accessible, it is crucial to look at the broader picture.
Accessibility goes beyond just financial measures; it includes improving the quality of care, reducing wait times, and ensuring that services reach underserved communities. Additionally, we need to address the issues of chronic underfunding and workforce shortages that plague the system.

By focusing on a holistic approach to reform, we can ensure that Medicare serves all Australians effectively and equitably.
