Original Note:
Medicare is not "free". It costs the Australian taxpayer approx $821 billion dollars a year and there is a 2% levy on all tax payers to fund this. Any shortfall in funding from this levy from a policy like this will result in other taxpayer money being used to fund this. https://www.kff.org/medicare/issue-brief/what-to-know-about-medicare-spending-and-financing/
