RACGP asks members to rate its election campaign ads
The ads compared Australia's medical system to America's
The RACGP wants members to rate the political ads it funded during the recent federal election campaign.
In the six weeks before the May election, the college funded TV advertisements in which actors portraying Australian and American patients described being unable to afford to visit a doctor.
“This should not be happening here,” said one of the Australians in the ad.
“Unless the Federal Government removes the cost caused by the GP Medicare rebate freeze, the cost to see your GP will keep going up,” a voiceover warned.
