Social
Services.
Healthcoverall replaces Medicare and private insurance with a single $230B/year program. 1.4 million purpose-built aged care homes. Education, NDIS, Veterans, and Indigenous Affairs rebuilt around outcomes, with delivery measured in service, not in process.
Australia's social services have been rebuilt around the assumption that the country can afford to deliver them, because under the new tax system it can. Healthcoverall absorbs the entire previous health spend — federal, state, and out-of-pocket — and adds dental and modernised PBS coverage on top. Aged care has been rescaled by an order of magnitude. The remaining services have been reorganised to deliver outcomes rather than to manage process.
