The question for health funds as premiums skyrocket

Ben Fordham comments
Article image for The question for health funds as premiums skyrocket

Ben Fordham is calling out the rise in health insurance premiums as Aussies grapple with the high cost of living.

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

Only $141 million went to actual health care benefits.

Insurance premiums have increased by 54 per cent over the past decade.

“How is that value for money?” Ben questioned.

“Next time your premiums go up, you might want to politely ask your health fund a simple question: How much of this increase is going towards health care and how much is going into your pockets?”
