      @dr_kevinlee @vanbadham Virtually no patients are charged for pathology tests at the moment actually. New measures unlikely to change that.

      @dr_kevinlee @vanbadham @sussanley It's not a realistic threat, because another company could easily offer the service bulk-billed.

      @dr_kevinlee @vanbadham @sussanley If you have a look at the article smaller companies have reduced their fees significantly when needed.

      @dr_kevinlee @vanbadham @sussanley I'm mostly talking about pathology here, the 2011 review is very informative https://ama.com.au/sites/default/files/documents/Final_Discussion_Paper_Review_of_Pathology_Services_1_March_2011.pdf …

          @dr_kevinlee @vanbadham Pathology companies are only concerned about their bottom line, there's no reason to expect patient charges.
