Greg Hunt wrote to the major providers, ordering them to resubmit their applications for 2020 premium hikes. The Sunday Telegraph reports industry wanted a 3.
5 per cent increase, which is higher than last year. Private Healthcare Australia has raised concerns claims are growing faster than revenue and said it will be difficult to meet the government's targets.
Lies. a well worn political script that is an insult to all Australians trying to maintain private cover while funds make billions. Funds advise Greg Hunt of artificially high increases, minister then says no (wow!) then announces increase 3 times inflation. 3AW693 GregHuntMP
Privatising services has been a disaster for decades.

So a 5% increase instead of 7%, with cpi at less than 2%.....? Absolute joke that is private health 'insurance'....the only insurance 'cover' where you have no idea for how much you are covered and more importantly how much out of pocket costs you will be slugged with.
If workplace insurers weren’t forcing injured workers to use their own private cover there wouldn’t be massive price hikes for those with private cover. The offsetting of cost must equate to lucrative end of year bonuses for executives and dividends for shareholders icareNSW
