Another April 1 "gift" from the private health insurance racket: premiums jumping 4.41% on average — the biggest hike in nearly a decade. Thousands of Aussies are about to cancel or downgrade because they can't afford it in this cost-of-living crisis.
Meanwhile, the big funds keep posting profits and the government signs off on it.
Why are we still subsidising this broken, two-tier system with tax rebates when we could be properly funding Medicare for everyone?
Private health insurance is a scam that punishes the sick and the struggling while delivering junk policies with exclusions. Time to scrap the subsidies and build real universal public health.
