The proposal would:

Option 1: Abolish Medicare, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, Commonwealth health-related grants to state and local governments (including funding for public hospitals), the Private Health Insurance Rebate, federal government involvement in the delivery of health services, federal government prevention services other than for infectious diseases, and federal government funding of health research. Commonwealth involvement in the management of infectious diseases, health service standards, health statistics, and radiation protection would continue.

The proposal would establish a National Preventative Health Commission that would provide preventative and public health oversight and advice to government. The Commission would offer grants for health promotion initiatives and campaigns.

Funding for the Commission would be equal to the sum of funding for the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation (VicHealth) and the former Australian National Health Agency, and would be indexed over time by changes in the consumer price index. Departmental funding was specified to be in addition to the capped amount.
