Discussion notes that a 1965-66 estimate by economists Scotton and Decble fed a hypothetical compulsory health scheme with a 10 percent surcharge on taxable income.

Whitlam warns on extra costs of free health benefits
The report notes Mr Whitlam arguing that a government health scheme would not burden the Cam rena scenth evhatating system and would ignore heavy costs of adding free dental and pharmaceutical benefits. Estimates suggest free private dental care could cost at least 55 million and removing prescription charges could add 20 million, making coverage unaffordable for many. The piece also covers Aboriginal camp visits for Expo Osaka 70 and Australia Day plans for Expo 79, with projections of costs and display plans.
