Show Notes
Private health insurance premiums are rising again. But before you renew on autopilot, it's worth asking whether the cover you've been paying for was ever designed to protect you, or just to take pressure off the public system.
Jeremy Iannuzzelli breaks down how the Medicare Levy Surcharge really works, who gets caught out by bracket creep, and the surprising ways a one-off asset sale, a missing dependent, or an insurer update can quietly cost thousands. Apathy, he argues, is often the biggest enemy of a good insurance decision.
Whether private health insurance makes financial sense depends entirely on your numbers. This episode is a must watch before the next premium hike hits.
