The Federal Government is being pressured to raise the Medicare rebate.

According to a new poll by the Resolve Political Monitor a fifth of people say their GP has stopped bulk-billing while more than half are being charged out-of-pocket expenses.

The Australian Medical Association is calling for rebates to match the rising costs of care to encourage more GPs to return to bulk-billing.
