Summary This book is a collection of chapters dealing with different aspects of the most 'wicked' policy and political challenge the country faces: the future of Medicare. Its first objective is to get the reader to basecamp on the Everest of Australian health reform. The problems with the current structure of Medicare, outlined here, suggest we should chart a new direction in health, and make changes to a system that is widely considered the jewel in the crown of Australian social policy - along with being the third-rail of Australian politics, given the electorates' well-demonstrated conservatism regarding Medicare.
