The Albanese government will cut the private healthcare rebate for Australians over 65, a move announced by Health Minister Mark Butler on Wednesday. This change aims to restore intergenerational equity and is expected to affect approximately 60,000 older Australians, increasing pressure on the public health system. The savings will help fund $4 billion in extra aged care spending.
