Because you are using it as reason to be angry, when you don't understand why it's needed.
In the UK there is no private insurance - and the NHS is unable to cope. In the US the public system is a joke because it relies completely on the private system.
If you want to save money, Yeenar, and you are presently paying the Medicare surcharge - take out private insurance. If you don't it's leaving you with less in your pocket.
Understand?

I understand thats why I am looking at different private health packages right now.
The clinic I go to offers dental, but I still have to pay for my own orthodental work. Thats like 3 grand for 4 wisdom teeth to be removed!!
Im going private, to save money.
As for the election, since Im back on the electrol roll I am going to vote for the "I fish and I vote" party. |

Wait a minute, weren't you the one complaining about having less money in your pocket, Yeenar? Because of the Medicare surcharge?

Well you were giving the very strong impression that you were being forced to pay the surcharge because you earn above the threshold. That's why I asked for a straight up "Yes or No". And I didn't get it either which didn't help matters.

You may hate insurance companies, but think about it, if you have private health insurance, then you won't have to pay the extreme amounts needed for specialist services and dental.
Dental and optical are not covered by medicare, neither are social workers and some psychological services...that you have to pay out of your own pocket and you don't get the medicare rebate.
hence the value of private insurance. |
