Are you ready for the rate rise?
Australians are bracing themselves for another massive health insurance increase next April, with some reports suggesting it could be as high as twice the rate of inflation.
This is partly due to the recent failure of Health Minister Greg Hunt’s deal with the medical devices industry to lower costs as promised.
As always, the people who really suffer are the Australian public, who will have the excess costs, passed onto them through higher premiums.
How much is too much?
On average health insurance has risen by 52.01% over the past 10 years, with some health funds having increased by up to 63.33% over the same period.
This means that if you were paying $300 for a top level of family cover in 2010, you could be paying $456 per month or more, for the exact same policy!
