Private health funds under fire over ‘greedy’ premiums

Private Health funds are under fire over soaring premiums.

Last financial year, health insurance premiums increased by $911 million, with about $570 million marked as profits.

Price hikes usually occur in April but providers including Medibank, Bupa, HCF and NIB delayed the increase until next month.

“Let’s call it what it is – insurer greed.”
