I ask that the Minister monitor the situation. I just Googled it and it seems that it is standard practice for VHI to offer all of its employees a tax-free health package. That is stated on its website. For low-income earners, this is a take home pay cut. It is a tax, so it should be monitored where we have the power to do so.
