Private health insurance is a dud. That’s why a majority of Australians don’t have it | Grogonomics
www.theguardian.com
The private insurers are reportedly seeking a 5-6% premium rise next year. That’s rich – especially when you consider 65% of policies don’t cover everything

Successive governments have tried to convince Australians that private health is better than the public system. Australia doesn’t agree.

    I am currently copping the extra levies out of principle.

    I would rather pay the extra tax than be forced to entire the criminally corrupt public system.

    The problem is that the runaway inflation (caused by corporate price-gouging) is resulting in increased cost of living.

    I have been fortunate enough to receive a pay-rise that reduces the pain caused by the CoL crisis, but it has pushed me into a higher tax bracket.
