Its not worth it the cost of health insurance and the levy costs especially for a family  |
If you are presently paying a surcharge you're paying out more than you otherwise would if you had private insurance.
Want to leave more in your hip pocket? Stop paying the surcharge in the only way you can - by taking out private health insurance.

I only have three children no need for the tarago and no plans for that matter
But I also have issue in relation to insurance companies and governments ... they are all bleeding us dry while we keep this country running and are exploited by the multi nationalists  |

So vote accordingly, Yeenar. At all levels. Or better still run yourself.
And also shop around for private insurance. If they stuff you around bring in consumer affairs in your state t pull them into line.

Hard to disagree with the above considering all the constant handouts for the private health insurance industry over the years despite premiums continuing to rise. How many more handouts from the tax payer does this industry require before being able to survive without government assistance? Funny thing is, despite their apparent need for subsidy after subsidy, premiums go up along with their massive profits. |

But you aren't poor are you, Yeenar? You can afford private insurance (otherwise you wouldn't be paying the surcharge).

| $14.95 per week is just the same as Im paying for my gym. Even if I went to a doctor that bulked billed, I would still need to pay out for dental, which I don't get back on medicare...and the best thing, at least you get ambulance coverage, the cost of one of those is way expensive these days.. |
