Finding the money...???

Hi to anyone who has followed this tread. 
I shot off an email to the Greens asking Spider's question for him... 
Here is their reply: 
 
"Hi Anne, 
 
The funding of our health initiatives will come from the $3.5 billion dollars which does not go to the private health insurance rebate scheme 
(i.e. this is cost neutral - we do not need to find any more money). This money will instead be allocated to the public health system. I thought this was pretty clear in the policy. Perhaps you can convey this to the forum. 
I am too busy to join it. 
 
Regards,

So in summary... Our current Government hands over  
a whopping $3.5 BILLION dollars of OUR tax dollars to private health. How's that for private health corporations "double dipping" into our pockets (and our health system)! 
 
Cheers all 
Anne
