Private health insurance costs the biggest household spending concern, survey finds
19 March 2019 - Private health insurance costs have overtaken electricity bills as the biggest household spending worry, according to consumer group Choice's latest quarterly survey of Australian households.
Choice found 82% of Australian households are now concerned about the cost of private health insurance, beating 77% who are concerned about electricity.
It comes as the private health insurance industry prepares to undergo its biggest changes for decades, which could potentially see some Australians paying more to access the same level of hospital cover.
