Health Insurance Act 1973

It's a government act.

It's called the Health Insurance Act.

And that was first introduced back by the Whitlam government back in 1973, so a long time ago.

It was initially called Medibank rather than Medicare.

I think

the important thing is that Medicare is legislation.

It's a health insurance act, not a health act.

So I think the UK has the National Health Service as a health act.
