Private health insurance 'junk' policies ripping Australians off, AMA says
21 August 2017 - Australian doctors have declared private medicine is "under siege", and are pushing the Federal Government to make "junk" healthcare policies illegal.
The Australian Medical Association (AMA) believes the policies, which do not cover treatment for many illnesses, are ripping people off.
AMA president Michael Gannon called for the law to be changed to ensure all policies contain a minimum level of cover.
