Same policy. Same family. $1,710 more a year than three years ago.
Choice looked at gold hospital cover and found premiums rose an average of 30 per cent over three years. The government only approved 8.6 per cent in that time. HBF Gold went up 46.9 per cent and Medibank Gold 43. The insurers' peak body says funds can't lift prices unless the regulators or the department agree.
Well, love, somebody agreed to something.
I filed insurance paperwork at the practice for twenty years, so here's my question. If the cap is 8.6, how does anyone land on 30 without a single alarm going off? My own policy's on the table tonight with the highlighter. What you do with yours is your call.
