Description: It's hard to stomach that today, one in three Australians go without health or dental care because they simply can't afford it. Labor's health spokesperson Nicola Roxon says Labor will strengthen Medicare, make dental care affordable, and make sure every child gets a health check when they start school.

aussiefem ::: Favorites Have a good look at peoples mouths. Never before have I ever seen SO many people with teeth missing!!! It's almost like looking at extras for "Pirates of the Caribbean" out there in suburbia land! Laughter aside, this is serious. Poor dental care can lead to potentially fatal heart disease. 07-08-06 23:53:46 _____________________________________________________
brettbaver ::: Favorites yes, $50+ just for a dentist to look inside your mouth is ridiculous. funding dental visits is a vote winner. 07-08-07 01:32:45 _____________________________________________________
grumlbw ::: Favorites What happened to bulk billing? What happened to the public health system? Low income and those with disabilities are truly disadvantaged in Australia. This country's health system is a nothing but a bad joke. 07-08-07 09:00:28 _____________________________________________________
