这段英文怎么理解

jspch

在一个新闻里说他们想要改变目前的澳洲养老系统，
Mike Woods is the deputy chairman of the Productivity Commission and in charge of the inquiry. He wants to shift the cost burden to wealthy older Australians through a new co-contribution scheme.

There'd be an aged care means test which would take into account the income and assets of those in care. And the funds for up to 25 per cent of the cost of a person's care could be drawn down from assets like homes.


主要是第二小节怎么理解比较好

jspch

shift the cost burden to wealthy older Australians through a new co-contribution scheme.

是不是指“通过新的co-contribution 计划把费用负担向富裕的老年澳大利亚人转移”。这样的意思是不是有钱的多给钱，贫穷的就少给钱。

很多老年人其实挺富有，但是收入不高，资产多，多是房产。
这个Mike想办法让他们自己也掏点钱

怎么多掏钱，把房子卖掉？如果这样的话，很多中国人会很吃亏的，因为很多中国人有房产投资的

这个新闻的接下去一段：
Certainly for those on low income and with very few assets they'd be protected as they are now. But for those who have high wealth or high incomes, we'd expect them to be paying more for their care. But we do have a stop-loss limit on how much care costs would be, so that, you know, it wouldn't write down their assets to nothing.

In fact once their total wealth goes down below a figure, and we've suggested a bit over $300,000, that they wouldn't be required to draw down their wealth for their care costs. Of course they'd still be meeting their accommodation cost.
