Opposition leader Bill Shorten has vowed to impose a 2% limit on premium increases for private health insurance.

Mr Shorten said since the Coalition was elected, Australian families have been paying, on average, an extra $1,000 a year in premiums.

NIB Managing Director Mark Fitzgibbon tells Ross Greenwood they’ll “work even harder” to ensure they keep premiums down.
