Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2013: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. John O'Dwyer:
The levy is a transfer of money - circular movement - around the industry. If all the competitors had an equal share of the elderly people consistent with their market share and the sick people, the levies and the credits would match each other. That is how it works. As members are aware, we are looking to enter long-term insurance arrangements, perhaps subordinated debt. That is how we will fund it.
