In Germany, the co-payment was trialled and found to increase costs with no benefit to the system, the practice or the patient. Thankfully, a family practice or specialist visit is completely covered for private and public patients. All hospital rooms are limited to two-person share or for a small fee a single room can be booked. Private patients do not pay a fee for a single room.

when l visit the GP l don't sign anything for payment so can a GP practice bill under my name when l haven't visited?

My local GP is 100% free, I don't understand why some GPs cost money and others do not as this affects so much people. This should be completely covered by tax, especially considering I'm benefitting from free healthcare and others aren't!

@@SBSNews may I ask why? Is it due to legal based reasons? Because I honestly see Australians’ seeking their media elsewhere, where engagement is available and don’t feel they’re being censored. I personally find international news sources my go to and this has a little to do with it.
