Hi Andrew
Dentistry is covered by Medicare for people with medical conditions which their doctor feels would be improved by better dental health. Doctor gives them a form to take to the nominated dentist, who then carries out necessary treatment.
This was an initiative of the previous federal govt., and the current mob have been trying to get rid of it since their election.
Suggest you research the draconian treatment of dentists using this scheme by Medicare-some have been financially ruined through simple errors in paperwork.
Aust. Dental Assoc. is trying to get this scheme replaced by something targetted toward the more needy of our society.
Anyway, I think we are getting way off topic with this discussion.
Have to agree with you about lawyers, though.
