The Turnbull Governments attack on Medicare is already hitting Newcastle families, with a number of residents reporting that from 1 July their GP will no longer offer bulk-billing.This is more proof that Mr Turnbulls harmful Medicare policies will drive up the cost of seeing a doctor for thousands of Novocastrians.
