Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese claimed that the cost of visiting the GP had risen 34 per cent under the Coalition. However, this does not account for the many people who receive bulk-billed GP services, or the fact bulk-billing rates have also increased. Verdict: Mr Albanese's claim is misleading.

Federal Health Minister, Greg Hunt claimed that, under the Coalition, more Australians were being bulk-billed by their GP than under Labor. Verdict: Mr Hunt's claim is over-egged.
