Senate rejects budget plan cutting health insurance top-up for older Australians
Original: anika wells
The Australian Senate has thrown out a budget measure that would have removed the private health insurance top-up rebate for older people. The plan, associated with Aged Care Minister Anika Wells, was blocked in the upper house, drawing attention to how older Australians' health cover is treated in this year's budget and prompting debate over the government's savings measures.
Why now: The Senate's rejection of a budget measure affecting older people's health insurance is a fresh political setback for the government.
