It’s time to reposition health research. In the wake of the Medicare co-payment debate it is clear that talking about health reform solely in the context of debt and deficits is producing diminishing returns. We need to change the conversation about health by emphasising the benefits – to consumers and taxpayers – of improving the operation of the health system.

Speakers Rohan Mead (Group Managing Director and CEO, Australian Unity), Mark Fitzgibbon (CEO and Managing Director, NIB), Angus Taylor MP (Federal Member for Hume), Dr Jeremy Sammut (Research Fellow, CIS) outline why it is important to reposition the focus of health reforms.
