Health Insurance (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.

 

With luck, we will all grow old and it is a fair bet we will need health care more frequently than we did when we were 30 or 40 years younger. The Bill will preclude insurers from cherry-picking the young and able as opposed to the old and disabled. Asking younger members of the community to pay a premium to compensate for the loss incurred for older members of the community is the fair and correct approach.
