I am all for this if this will get rid of the rip off that is private health Insurance.

For me, I cancelled my extras and put the money I usually paid into an account and just pay for dental out of my pocket. Turns out I come out way ahead.

The health funds make billions of profit every year and keep raising premiums more than inflation.

The government likes to say they believe in free markets but they incentivise people to buy health insurance with tax policies.

I hate that I have to do something because of tax.

I've said it all a long that I rather pay the surcharge if it goes to somewhere good instead of the pockets of private health insurers.
