in 1972-74 the hostility to whitlam’s proposed new “medibank” scheme — from liberal party, press, AMA and others — was, imo, unbelievable. at first, doctors engaged in a campaign of non-co-operation, by refusing to accept “provider numbers”
australia was a nation resistant to change. we (whatever “we” means, given how many people had voted for whitlam) did not want socialist health care, and we did not want medibank creating a system of “ID cards by stealth”. (there were ID cards during WWII, administered by the local PO, but that was behind us.)
(indirectly related, but also a measure of attitudes and mindset, we were so resistant to change that when banks got together and created a credit card system — bankcard — people cut them up and returned the pieces to banks in protest. “we are NOT america, and we CAN pay our bills. we do NOT like debt or obligation”.)
medibank legislation (the original medicare) was at first modelled on the (presumably) practical health care system in canada, then gutted repeatedly before it could be passed. (and later scrapped by Fraser)
for a while, i worked in a section processing applications for medibank cards, and there was a whole campaign of people lodging dodgy applications (to clog up and discredit the system) which did not have very demanding ID requirements. there was a whole other section of the public returning their new medibank cards in protest.
if i remember correctly, the rationale for the cheque-to-doctor-via-patient was to re-assure change-resistant members of the public that doctors could not simply defraud the system by lodging excessive claims, and to allay fears australia would soon go broke because of whitlam’s mad plans. under this arrangement the patients were effectively providing an audit service.
to be fair, the world was very different in 1974, and to those who benefitted from it, the system probably didn’t seem anywhere near as inconvenient as having no health care at all.
but, yes, the world is very different now, and i’m astonished medicare are still doing things this way. i thought cheques were already done and dusted. if this doctor patient arrangement wasn’t so automated maybe someone would have found a way to change it, and save wages.
i guess politicians today are more inclined to tolerate medicare than to cherish it. -
Today I posted a letter. It fell with a clunk into an empty Australia Post letter box.
Why did I send a letter in this day and age? It is because Medicare still uses cheques. This scheme is called the Pay Doctor Via Claimant (PDVC) scheme and works something like this:
1. Doctor provides a service and the patient pays for the service including the doctor's gap fee.
2. Medicare mails (!!!) a cheque (!!!!) written to the name of the doctor. They mail this cheque to the doctor's patient (!!!), not directly to the doctor.
3. The legislators who devised this scheme years ago hoped that the patient would be good enough to then put the cheque into a new envelope and post the cheque to the doctor or otherwise give it to them!!! They hoped that this person is not a young person who has never seen a cheque, has no idea what it is, and just bins another piece of paper without really thinking about it. The legislators of yore thought that patients have a life mercifully low in life admin, working (or looking for a job), free of family care responsibilities and loads of free time to have the spare capacity to remember to do Medicare's job free of charge and mail the cheque. I am guessing the legislators of yore subconsciously assumed that the wife would be living a life of leisure with plenty of spare time and energy to do this task.
4. The legislators of yesteryear thought that it is a great use of the time of the admin staff of doctor's to find a bank branch (!!!) and bank the cheque. They thought that it is a great use of the time of the admin staff to reconcile services provided to patients and Medicare cheques received, then follow up every patient who may have forgotten to forward the cheque. The historic legislators thought that this scheme will thwart the dastardly doctors who seek to rip off Medicare.Because of this convoluted scheme, Medicare has then had to create another scheme called the 90 Day Pay Doctor Scheme, where a doctor can apply for a cheque to be cancelled if it has not been sent to them by the patient etc. I kid you not: https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/90-day-pay-doctor-cheque-scheme
Most Australians stopped using cheques years ago and are just waiting for the Australian government to discover that electronic banking is more efficient for everyone. The Australian federal government is hoping that by 30/6/2028 government services will no longer use cheques.
In 2025, the only one who really benefits from this scheme is probably Australia Post. I agree that retaining snail mail services has merits, even though less than 3% of letters are sent by individuals: https://theconversation.com/australia-post-wants-to-charge-more-for-stamps-next-year-heres-why-it-has-to-keep-letters-alive-244503

Do you remember writing cheques?
👉 Write the amount in numbers
👉 Write the amount in words
👉 Write the date (or postdate if you're one of those assholes)
👉 Put lines through the excess blank sections
👉 Write a little love letter to the person you're buying from
👉 Fill out your medical details
👉 Provide a debit card at the same time for a guarantee
👉 Fill it out incorrectly in the small hope it won't get cashed
👉 Sign the damn thing!Jeez cheques were shit.

This may sound controversial but…
For suppressed people who value basic #digitalSovereignity, knowing that almost all #banks in #Australia are being man-in-the-middled (#MitMd) by the likes of #Amazon, CloudFlare et al. We propose a weirdly radical solution…
Start using #cheques.
Call the bank and ask for a #chequeBook. The current #MitM attackers cannot stop us from paying with a cheque and we can sign with a message of our choosing. *wink

@maxi after all, #ec & #CreditCard #payments are deliberately designed to not be direct #WireTransfers into #Bank accounts.
For once these were created in the #USA which to this day does not have an actually functioning #WireTransfer system that comes even close to #SEPA in terms of cost-efficiency, speed, availability and ease-of-use:
People still get literal #cheques to cashout decades after #Germany phased out chequebooks and banned that even long before that.

I'm an old and am very glad I rarely write checks anymore, because the first couple of weeks of January was when I kept writing the previous year.
