    It doesn’t feel like an exaggeration to call it extortion either.

    If you maintain the cheapest qualifying policy you are almost guaranteed to be paying for something of such little value that you will never choose to use it. Nobody benefits other than health insurance hareholders.

    One of a large number of social, economic and environmental injustices that the ALP should fix but will not. They have the numbers. It’s a rare opportunity.

      Precisely. Now is precisely the time for Labor to do some bold progressive changes. Like fixing this extortion. Like dental and mental health into Medicare.

      But I’m not holding my breath.
