From 1st April 2020, health insurance premiums are set to rise on average by 2.92%—nearly double the rate of inflation*.
Families will cough up an extra $1.99 per week, while singles will see an increase of 68 cents.** This might not sound like a lot, but it adds up to over $100 for families per year. And we can’t help but ask: why are those preparing intelligently for their future paying disproportionately more for cover?
