Everyone above minimum wage pays the 1.5% with a yearly cap of something like $1000. EVERYONE is eligible for medicare. If you want more than the basic medical coverage then you pay for private medical insurance. People living in multi-million dollar mansions on Sydney Harbour can get medicare if they want, which is fair enough since they paid for it.
