Local Board System

Rudd does have a plan, it is a plan which has been proved a failure by himself in the state of QLD, and by many others in the other states. Contrary to your misleading comment the Howard government has a plan too, a plan which has a proven track record and more than half a decade of success. I would prefer doctors and locals running my hospital than bureaucrats in canberra! 
Anne that is a very simplistic statement which is also misleading, you don't mention how much money the private system SAVES the public system, a dollar of government money into the private system allows for three dollars of services, and allows people who otherwise couldn't afford private insurance, to do so, and take responsibility for their own future, as many people would be and are happy to do, some just need a little help. Also another $35Bn into the public system (not even considering that the demand on it would skyrocket given those now having to withdraw from the private system), does not fix the problems associated with centralised management. We need a wholistic approach not just a cheque which comes with a raft of catches. We need to go back to the simple, responsible system which WORKED. 
Local Hospitals 
Local People 
Simple...System fixed 
If you want locals and experts running your local hospital, rather than accountants in a far away town, as it was when it worked, vote coalition. 
Bring on the election indeed.
