Democrats: Health Identifier, or national ID card?
The Australian Democrats has warned Health Minister Nicola Roxon’s Health Identifiers Bill appears similar to the previous Howard government’s ill-fated attempt to replace the Medicare Card with what it called an Access Card — which many saw as an attempt to create a national ID card.
In early February, Health Minister Nicola Roxon introduced legislation into Federal Parliament that would introduce a National Health Identifier to be implemented by the middle of 2010.
The health and social services Access Card project was terminated in November 2007 when Kevin Rudd’s Labor government took office, ending several years of debate about whether the card was an attempt to introduce a national ID card similar to the Australia Card — dumped as a project back in 1987.
