Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
There were a number of other comments by Senators Feeney, Ryan and McHugh. All in all, they welcomed the two main provisions of the Bill, providing a broad immunity from liability for damages for the Health Insurance Authority when discharging its statutory functions in good faith, and of course the encouragement of competition. I welcome the comments made on the other provisions in the Bill relating to procedures which will apply under risk equalisation arrangements and funding advancement for the establishment of the Health Insurance Authority.
