Poor value sees younger people dropping private health insurance
18 November 2018 - Younger people are ditching private health cover or not taking up cover in the first place, finding it poor value for money.
The official figures, released by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority last week for the September quarter, show a continuing trend of younger people opting out of private health cover.
The number of Australians with hospital cover or higher has declined overall between 2015 and 2016, with the biggest falls coming from those under the age of 35.
