This article explores the origins and operation of s 19(2) of the Health Insurance Act 1973 (Cth) and argues that it may not now and may never have created a barrier to Medicare access for prisoners as is commonly thought.

Recent large scale genetic and genomic functional studies now show that approximately 20% of all human mesotheliomas are causally linked to highly penetrant inherited (germline) pathogenic mutations in numerous cancer related genes. The rarity of these mutations in humans makes it difficult to perform statistically conclusive genetic studies to understand their biological effects.
