What we need to to dump the government extortion that is the Medicare Levy Surcharge and the Lifetime Health Cover loading scam.
It seems they are designed to funnel you into the arms of corporations. I've read that enough youth are just taking the surcharge and loading on the chin that insurers have started to worry. I'm seriously considering it--the value for money of private insurance is not great.
Perhaps instead of Medicare Levy they should call it Medicare Insurance.
yeah like I get why I'm paying for it (I'm in a higher earning bracket and health services cost a fuckload)
I couldn't see a reason to go private and every year the gov tacks on a bigger disincentive so medicare levy it is for me
