Nationalise them then. Problem solved.
The private hospitals have now shown their true colours - the are just money making machines.
INSTALL NOW
BS!
Probably the last business decision they make.
Perhaps these hospitals should look at their economic model throughly.
Healthscare USA style here we come courtesy of the Liberal Party.
Are they seriously suggesting their for profit private hospitals cannot run without taxpayer subsidies? Seriously? Is this what neoliberalism has come to?
Socialize Hospitals n Health Care...not everything has to make money to be of service to the Community.. Nationalize Resources to pay for it... Its a no brained really ...
OK good then. If they can't make it work then how about we Nationalise them will solve things! Take that back to your boss Murdoch!🖕🖕🖕💩
den2114 Yet another reason not to vote Labor.
It's rubbish. They're pricing themselves out of the market, a cap in line with wage growth (less than 1% with inflation at present) would be fair. They have no justification for jacking fees beyond that.
“Reportedly”, or “actually”. You need a source for it to be news, you gimps.
maxtrish In other words those private hospitals have crunched the numbers to optimise profits at the expense of patients.
I guess the Private Hospitals will have to trim back on some of the extravagances and just focus on Patient Care.
Why don’t they just recoup the cost by inflating their prices for prosthetics? Oh that’s right, they already do that
Private hospitals are doing ok as are health funds!!!
They already turn away patients - those who refuse to let themselves be gouged by health for profit companies.
How very American of them
Why is private health insurance subsidised by the taxpayer?
NO private hospital will EVER turn away money.
maxtrish Totally misleading as usual from . This is about a small cohort of not for profit Catholic hospitals.
some , which just another SKY Beat up
Propaganda in full swing already Sky. Pathetically transparent
You are not honest.
Who can afford Private Health? Why do we subsidised the Health insurance industry but not the Car industry?
maxtrish And Labor will turn away their licence to run a private hospital.
Sounds like this could be an unsubstantiated fabrication by a Murdoch hack.
Bet you they don't. They make so much money, they will still make a kiliing.
Perhaps the government should stop propping up Health Insurance Funds and put that money into Public Health instead.
Well they should remember they have no right
And the obvious synchronized collusion of Rupert's trash and the COALition continues. Guess what? No one's buying it.
Scare News Australia Don't ever pretend you are unbiased!
Good. Let’s stop funding them and put the money into public health. Let’s see how they go....
The insurance system for healthcare is an abomination. The gouging of the sick by pharma is an abomination. Health care affordability in general needs a microscope and review. Our legal system has a LOT to answer for.
And the scare tactics begin .....
I've given up on trusting Sky News for accurate reporting because you have so many climatedeniers on your program.
And so Murdoch's Newscrap cretins start campaigning for Coalition, for next year's Federal election, while we are still in Holiday season. auspol
Ok no forced private insurance for taxpayers put extra one percent on Medicare tax sounds good for me
[Despite the leaked briefing note, CHA denies it is facing pressure from Labor’s policy proposal. ] They can deny all they like, CHA is already abandoning regional cities like Gladstone. That means the entire Gladstone region will have no Private Hospital at all.
MinhKular This is the commencement of the Murdoch/LNP election campaign. It will not improve. The Murdoch/LNP coalitition is only for the big end of town, the retired and those who can still be classed as working people will always be downtrodden.
Maybe this will trigger the private heath rebellion these cvnts richly deserve
MinhKular Viability of extreme profits?
MinhKular Can the Hungry Jacks interns being paid $4 per hour turn away 'customers' as well?
MinhKular Private hospitals are a joke
Murdoch’s minions doing their best to scare voters, pathetic really, wont matter so much as no one watches
There should be no, no, private health funds subsidized by the taxpayer. Another failed & very expensive Howard policy. You want private, pay for it yourself.
Ha , viability , bullshit , reduced profits maybe , suck it up you’ve had a good run
private hospitals are used by a minority of the population, they should learn to look after their customers instead of turning them away
Then the govt should revoke their license! Bankrupt them and buy them out.
All hospitals should be 100% owned/managed/funded by the State. Private health insurance has to be abolished so Australia has real Universal Health Care.
Headline: Catholics Threaten to Turn Away the Sick if they aren't paid more money.
Utter lies utter lies No hospital will turn away anyone, as will no doctor. What are you min going to do for the next eight years when Labour win Govt - convincingly By the way I do not vote Labour but you have helped defeat a Govt you support...only fools and horses
SkyNews getting desperate
Well they can’t keep going up stupid amounts per year.
you need a wordmark minimalist logo design please visite my gig
Scare from Sky
Please start in Canberra where surgeons and specialists run a closed shop that hurts everyone. So sick of the ripoff by private insurance and greedy doctors.
Well you would say that.
Sounds like a terrorist threat to a hostage negotiator...
So private hospitals only care about 💰 not patients
So Ricard hospitals don't care about people only 💰
They shouldn't be open, then. If you can't afford to operate the business properly, then you shouldn't be in business at all. Holding people to ransom is never the answer.
Sky News is reportedly a tool used to facilitate foreign interference of the Australian political system for the express benefit of its owner, Rupert Murdoch. Sky News reportedly spreads lies and propoganda in support of its fascist agenda. Sky News is reportedly toxic.
auspol if U needed more evidence that is biased & does not tell the truth, read the headline then read the article i have taken a screenshot of below. Story contradicts the headline fakenews billshortenmp Shorten_Suite that NZ 'news must be true' law looks good
Hey private health Greedy CEO's, What will happen if ppl can no longer afford Private Health cover? They're going to drop it! Then what? Your income revenue drops! Seriously your priorities suck!
And get back to us when you have FACTS!!! Not rumour and innuendo, based to spread fear against alternative policies which don’t agree with Rupert Murdoch’s political views.
Well I guess that answers the question of where their priorities lie.
I call Bull&$*t. As if I private company would turn anyone away... they want and need the business, in order to continue gouging the massive profits they make each and everyone year on the back of every private health insurance holder... this is blatant fear mongering
Well they can piss off then. Taking our money for membership of a club we cant afford is extortion for a start. Either they stand on their own feet or fail; the capitalist way. Sick of this bullshit privatising the profits but socialising the costs.
very christian like 🙄
Good. Close them down. Health care and education are two things which should never be privatised.
Remember this is coming from sky news and probably has no basis in fact, they also have a copy of the LNP playbook. Scare and lie nothing positive LNPfail skyfakenews
I’d rather pay the levy and support Medicare than fork out so some harbourside Sydney fat cat can use their annual bonus to buy a new yacht
“Pre-election anti-Labor campaigning (scare-mongering!!) by partisan (i.e. LNP!) media corp”. This 🇦🇺 voter hopes for: Fed. election MUCH earlier than May 2019. LNP voted out by a landslide. Govt voted in... “look after ALL Australians”.
Good luck with that one. So many fear campaigns there must be an election due soon.
More fake news!
What a load of garbage - private health insurance has been one of the great rip offs and consumers should be protected from these vultures!!
Looks like has its anti labor rhetoric in full scare mode already. Bias could not be more transparent. auspol putLNPlast SackThemAll
Of course they will turn patients away if there isn't a buck in it. They have been doing that for years.
Strangely your headline's inference doesn't quite mach the story. And it misses a very important point, it is the Surgeons and Consultant Physicians and other specialists who control access to private hospitals.......auspol
In that case we just stop paying private health insurance, pay the Levi and head to public hospitals.
hospitals should act like hospitals, open 24/7 for all. No matter who owns them. or be closed down and replaced.
'They' always say that about you know.They are too busy doing you know what.Whatever...
There should be no private hospitals in Australia. No private health insurance either. End the rorting of our system!
Who can afford private hospitals anyway, only the wealthy, why do Morrison’s Government cut big $$$$ to health care?
Not a single source named. not one - “reportedly” by whom What trash
( RuddGillardRuddShortenintheshadows) interesting times ahead😀
fehowarth Umbreago75 typical
Yeah really..what about the hypocritical oath?
Private hospitals threaten the viability of universal healthcare. Could the government stop subsidising an industry that prioritises profit over healthcare, please? Private healthcare subsidies and tax rebates could be used to fund our hospitals and local healthcare facilities.
then charge & jail the CEO's of any private hospital that attempts to extort funds for profit & hold Australians to ransom to the type of behaviour just exposed by the banking royal commission. billshortenmp ScottMorrisonMP Bowenchris 7NewsMelbourne 9NewsMelb newscomauHQ
Sky News has started the propaganda campaign....
This would be the beginning of the end of private health insurers if they were to be so stupid. Sometimes the g00ns at newscorp need to think through the propaganda they peddle.
🐂💩turn away money.......not likely!
What Rubbish. They can’t do that.
They should be shut down then. And which hospitals are you talking about so they can be called out?!
Good old private screwing the patient once again
Sky are starting to copy ABC, SBS, ALP & Greens with their scare campaigns. Don't go to the dark side sky.
Reportedly warned = We made it up to smear labor.
How warm and gracious of them.
Scientists have also reportedly warned we could be in for a rude shock. As everyone prepares to usher in 2019, we could actually be getting S 2018. See, we can also make it up.
Another LNP Scare campaign. Australians are over them and over LNP
More propaganda
Everyone knows private health insurance is a scam. You pay the premium and still end up with massive out of pocket expenses at the end. Private hospitals are a money making organisation and rely on insurance. A cap on premiums would stop the exorbitant rate rises.
Private health insurers are leaving themselves open for prosecution under the Trade Practices Act and a massive Class Action.
their business model is based on patients. There is not a snowball's chance in hell they would turn away business unless it is a politicial decision and not an economic one. Maybe they should save some of the bribes they pay the Liberal Party and give it back to shareholders.
Name them
Got any actual news? Auspol
These would be the same hospitals that already turn people away if they don't have insurance? SMDH...
the day is coming in this country like in many where if you can afford the best doctor or specialist you will have to pay. Others will have to wait in crowded wards bring their own bed sheets etc. why ? Because over the years the system in this country has been abused
smithmeyerjen Pfhhht 'have reportedly warned' ... maybe ,possibly .. something you have made up? Catholic Health Australia have DENIED it!!! Journalism auspol skynews chaaustralia
That is a good thing. Parasites that live off the suffering of others and make a fortune. Just as bad as the Banks. Nationalise the whole heatlh system and increase the medicare levy to 3%.
This is a scare campaign. Reportedly is just rumour not based on fact. This statement is just pure spin. When comes to crunch. As these hospitals are Profit driven they will not turn away patients.
If they do, they should lose all tax concessions
Name them . Stop using scare tactics.
So much for the hypocratic oath
Rubbish treat the patient in front of you. No hospital will turn people away when they need help
hmmm. I am old enough to recall the scare campaigns run against the original Medibank
Don't vote Labor then?
What utter rubbish the private hospitals make a killing and will continue to do so under every government, Skynews keeps trying the KillBill strategy.
The hypocritic oath
So, you guys are taking your role as the media arm of the Coalition really seriously, aren't you? I admire your dedication, even as I'm repulsed and depressed by your execution. auspol
Then abolish the rebate and let the private system collapse. Those same doctors can be employed in the public sector treating the same patients (at lower overall cost)
So can all private health insurance subsidies and put the money in the public health system 2 women same age 1 went public 1 went private public $400 out of pocket private $1000 out of pocket sciatic nerve treatment.
