25 July 2019 - With young and healthy people baulking at the cost of private health insurance, there are fears the sector could be headed towards disaster unless things turn around.
Australian Medical Association president Tony Bartone yesterday went as far as to say the system was on the "precipice of possible demise" and demanded the Federal Government act urgently.
That came after a Grattan Institute report warned of an "impending crisis" without urgent changes to the healthcare sector.
