Until now, the government had not charged any citizens, permanent residents or long-term pass holders for their medical treatment for the virus.
While Singapore does not have a free public health care system like Australia's, it does have a subsidised insurance scheme."This was to avoid financial considerations adding to public uncertainty and concern when COVID-19 was an emergent and unfamiliar disease," the Ministry of Health statement read.
What a lot if crap
Not a problem Bob. Because our natural immunity will keep us a hell of alot healthier than the bio weapon injected into citizens. And all fully vaccinated who are hospitalised should also pay? Because the vaccine is sooooo good at protecting.
An easy explanation of the science for the anti vaxers. ( who won’t believe a word of it though).
So can we stop paying taxes as well
Yes have to agree!!
Ok, then all the vaccinated who get Covid or an adverse reaction should pay for their own expenses too.
If someone has medical health problems then can not get it so they have to pay their bills unaccept
Agree
In answer to smoking , drinking etc. very heavily taxed. They already paid their dues in tax.
This can be achieved as soon as all politicians are open and honest!
The government should pay if they make it compulsory. If not compulsory and you catch it yes you should pay by your life for not having an amune system.
Agreed 💯
Yup.
I am not an antivaxxer but I believe in freedom of choice that my forefathers died fighting for. Division the government is instigating is cruel, inhumane and un-Australian
Totally agree with this, hope it is mandated👍
Never perfect world. Always some people try to be different from the crowd. But this time they got it absolutely wrong wrong wrong!!!
Can't agree any more. This makes sense.
Fk me. We're turning into America. Smokers, drinkers, obese, addicts etc should all pay as they 'didn't follow health care guidelines' Pretty sure they still pay Medicare levy when they work? As do the unvaxxed? The division is getting wild
andrewbogut it’s officially on the table…..
Are we going to say the same thing to those that are in accidents that were preventable, or those that smoke and get lung cancer or those that get heart disease and haven’t looked after themselves?
Why is MSM reporting on a “former” premiers opinion? I’m glad to hear he’s still alive but before you give him a platform and voice, be bold and give medical professionals one too. The ones who have differing views on vaccine safety. That’s real journalism.
I totally agree 100%
Agree 100%. But then the likelihood that they become seriously ill and higher risk of passing. Who will pay the bills then? Especially if family members have gotten vaccinated.
Agree 100%. Why should the Vaxed face huge premium rises because of the ignorant Minority NotMyProblem
For once Bob I AGREE with you!
In fact let’s go the next step. Anyone who doesn’t follow a government directive should lose all freedoms and hospital care, no unemployment benefits….. smells like George Orwell’s 1984 to me.
Illegal
Totally agree with Bob Carr
Drop dead Bob.
When did it become ok for anyone in a lead ship position to encourage picking on minority groups? Leadership Equality OneWorld
Discrimination humanrights
Love ya Bob.
I agree!!!!!!!!
Its MY BODY BOB, you cant support unlawful Vaxination. Two sets of rules, Your mates in goverment are dictating what can and cant be done,are all polititions vaxinated Answer that honestly. we are not free .The vaxinated can still catch and spread the virus.Nazi Germany all over
Agrees. They pay there own bill for care unless exempt & in a completely different hospital specially built for covid patients or any further mutations/pandemics❣️They've built quarantine ones haven't they❓ Y NOT A NON VAXED/FUTURE PANDEMIC HOSPITAL ❓ SURGERY & CARE GOES ON🎉
And the people who have now been turned into vegetables and in wheel chairs because of the Vaccination? **** em all, right... 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly😟The number of people in need of DELAYED care, hospitalizations, surgery some URGENT that don't have covid & are fully vaxed.. Y NOT OPEN A NON VAXED HOSPITAL(-exempt) IN EACH STATE❓LET THE REST OF US RECEIVE CARE NEEDED & WAITED FOR NOW FULLY VAXED❓ C'MON TIME TO ACT!
The low levels of intelligence in some of our current & former leaders is scary!
flog
I agree... either make them pay 10% medical levy or 100% when they get sick... everyone else that is proactive in their health should remain paying at 1%... it's only fair 💁♀️
The role of healthcare is to treat all equally no matter what. Saving lives is the job not ending them
Well I want my money back and you can stick ya tax up your backside! listening to this blatant sledge on basic human rights is sad! Wake up Australia don't forget out of the 85% at least 50% of those only did it because the government held a gun to their head!
Speak for yourself (you ignored warnings and got the disease ) PS your comrades Mr Car from their Wuhun Institute of Virology and their created weapon of mass destruction gave the World no warning PS you have no credibility.
Spot on.
What about the bill of those they infect? Coming around to holding them to account for that too. Now, THAT is coercion.
What a banana 🍌
What happens if the unvaccinated got the covid from the vaccinated as vaccinated still can spread. When a country had such high vaccination rate but still see cases spike, government and media target the small portion of unvaccinated, it didn’t make sense.
Bob Carr should be fired into the sun
That’s fair
And those who contract AIDS should do the same? What about those who get flu and didn’t get the flu jab Should they pay too?
Fair call, So on this logic all people that smoke should pay for all healthcare if they get cancer from it? All people that eat unhealthy if they get sick from it should pay for all healthcare because of it? So on and so on?
Let’s also include medical bills for - people who consume alcohol, cigarettes or recreational drugs; injuries from at-fault motor vehicle accidents, any sporting or recreational activity, botched cosmetic surgery, failing to wear PPE at home, not reading the manual, or bbqs.
So the unvaccinated don’t pay taxes? I’m vaccinated and am 100% for the vaccine but freedom of choice is just as important so stop dividing people and let everyone be and do as they choose.
Good suggestion. Taking a leaf out of Singapore?

Hey bobjcarr while you are at it, anyone that smokes should be denied treatment, anyone with a BMI outside of the normal range that has heart issues, diabetes, same.
Should they pay taxes too?
I would happily pay for a course of Ivermectin or Hydroxychloroquine instead of the experimental jab that doesent prevent contracting or transmitting the virus anyway.
This is what happens when Governments control every aspect of our lives and healthcare. Think Australia is a free country? Think again. Only the rich will survive this pandemic and this was always their plan.
I totally agree
Most ridiculous idea ever. If someone comes into hospital with a heart disease, should we do a deep dive into their eating habits and let that decide how much they pay? Get your heads straight and stop trying to create different classes of citizens. Learn some history… smh
How many millions of $$$ wasted on adverse jab reactions and an over burdeoned health system from staff shortages due to mandate?
Covid has certainly brought out all the commies. 🙄
From the man who never learnt to drive or had children. I think behest needs to think this through a bit more in his tax paid office as his staff bring him his green tea.
Absolutely
I think Bob Carr needs to be given a serious medical bill… 😏
Maybe politicians past and present should pay their own way as well instead of living off the taxpayer. And would be good to know which politicians,celebrities,media are get their pockets filled from the pharmaceutical companies.
Following this logic people who have sex w/out protection and get syphilis, aids and more should not be covered too? This vaccine propaganda is ridiculous
Looking forward to just paying for the best private health than instead of footing the Medicare levy ✌🏼
Make him PM
Nearly everyone is vaccinated. How many pollies and TV journos are? And their kids? Let’s share all the facts. Chop chop
Yes because Singapore is an excellent example of a liberal democracy 🙄🙄🙄
Same should go for all smokers, drinkers, over weight etc in otherwise no more universal healthcare
Here here I agree
History repeating itself! No wonder immigrants and Europeans are trying to warn us!
Smokers and drinkers too They are also making a choice. Anyone supporting this can piss off to Singapore if you like their rules so much.
He should foot his own expenses... rather than sponging off the Australian taxpayer. Free world travel free City office. Free secretary. Free car. Free chauffeur. Free food. Free utilities. Stop sponging off the Australian people!
Oooh, can we have the death penalty, criminal charges for procuring an abortion, public whippings & paying for ALL medical procedures like Singapore too?
Here here, great suggestion considering 93% ( of 12+) has received 1 dose the 7% who decided it’s not for them they should 100% pay they are such a insignificant ass hair minority
Add drunk drivers to the list
What a pineapple
