Australian medical insurance card is the best medical card in the world: Medicare is a federal health care system funded by Australian taxpayers and managed and operated by the Australian government, which provides public medical security for Australians and reimburses most medical expenses. Medical insurance (Medicare) was established to protect Australians from the influence of current economic ability when they see a doctor. No matter who you are and how sick you are, no matter whether you have money or not, you can be treated equally in public hospitals.

Go to the hospital:

Patients at public expense can enjoy free accommodation, treatment and nursing in public hospitals, and can continue treatment after discharge. Medical insurance will pay 100% for public hospitals. But as a patient at public expense, you have no right to choose a doctor. The hospital must appoint medical staff to see you. You can't choose when to be hospitalized or when to have surgery. Everything depends on the hospital.

If you have health insurance, you don't have to spend a penny. If you look at MBS, you can get 85% reimbursement.
