Summary
People find that the new health plan would be unsuccessful to fix an ill sytem because of the following reasons. Firstly, the voters are unsure whether Kevin Rudd and the politicians would really deliver what they have promised with a better health system. Secondly, the health plan looks like that it will just focus on the threatment rather than the prevention to keep people healthier. Therefore, the Prime Minister, premiers, and chief ministers should spend the new health fund wiserly on prevention, health promotion, primary health care centres, mental health, and oral health.

Meanwhile, the government does not present the spent details of the realizing of the health plan reform. It is need to be more transparent to reveal accurately what, who, and how much is included in this health plan.

My personal reflection
People are full with the government's promises. They are also tired to expect that the problems of the health system could be fixed correctly what they wish. Now, they may be sceptical with it.
