DAVID POPE. Medicare – Eaten out from within.

 

This cartoon by David Pope was published in The Canberra Times.

I posted this cartoon on social media today, with links to your blog article. The cartoon was, in part, inspired by your posts. Too often, a good thousand words is worth more than any picture. Thank you for them.  David Pope.
