Capping Medicare Saftey Net for IVF/ART

[buliej]

I just received an email from ACCESS (it's an infertility information org) that the government is considering making the safety net means tested. If true, this will obviously impact the costs of IVF. IVF is so expensive, and even those who may be pushed out of the safety net because of income still won't have sufficient income to pay 100% for the costly IVF procedures. Has anyone else heard of this?

ACCESS suggests sending a letter to your member of parliament (see form letter here: http://www.access.org.au/__data/page/947/letter.pdf)
