After my dad died in a Brisbane private hospital, I tried to work with leadership to improve care. I brought solutions, ideas, and hope — and was ghosted. This isn’t about blame. It’s about what happens when systems say the right things, then do nothing. We deserve more than silence.

We’re told to keep private health cover — but when my dad needed care, the system didn’t deliver. This blog questions what we’re really paying for, how both public and private systems are under strain, and whether a better model is possible.
