Abstract
- The article discusses the impact of Medicare on rural Australia since established in 1983. Topics include the tendency for health disparities such as access to health services, disease burden and life expectancy to be worse for rural Australians than for those in more urban areas, the need for collaborative service planning within the Medicare system, and the Medicare system's failure to encourage health promotion or illness prevention.
